Mathon Reformed Church
The Reformed Church in Mathon on Schamserberg in Shams is an Evangelical - Reformed church under the monument of the canton of Grisons .
History and equipment
A church in Mathon was first documented in 831. The current building was erected in 1728. One bell dates from the Reformation at the beginning of the 16th century. The organ decorated with peasant paintings , originally in use in the Surava church , was installed in 1822, making Mathon the only Schamser valley church with its own organ for more than a century. In the center of the interior of the church there is a baptismal font , which is also used as a sacrament table. The pulpit stands out due to a particularly artfully carved sound cover .
