History and equipment
The church is located directly on the cliff (Scuol is etymologically related to the Latin scopulus = ledge) down to the Inn . A previous Carolingian church in the same place burned down in 1258.
In the meantime, a Romanesque church served as a place of worship until Bernhard von Puschlav received the order to build a Gothic church at the beginning of the 16th century .
The Scuoler Church is a nave with a single nave . The choir is designed in three parts. The choir windows show Christ motifs of the Good Shepherd and the vine .
Around 1530 Scuol joined the Reformation , so that the Georgskirche became a preaching church .
Out of gratitude for the courage of Scuoler women during the turmoil in Graubünden , when they opposed Habsburg troops under General Alois Baldiron in 1622 , women are still allowed to sit on the right (and thus on the honor side) of the church to this day.
