Reformed Church of Sils-Baselgia
The Reformed Church Sils-Baselgia in Sils in the Engadine is a Protestant - Reformed church under the monument of the canton of Grisons . It is located directly on the Inn in the village quarter of the same name (Baselgia means "church" in the Upper Engadin Rhaeto-Romanic idiom).
History and equipment
The church is first documented under the patronage of St. Laurentius in 1536, but the structure is medieval . The two-story bell tower has a cone-shaped tent roof . Inside, everything runs towards the baptismal font , which also serves as the sacrament table. It separates the nave with a wooden strip ceiling and natural stone floor from the square choir , which is preceded by a pulpit without a sound cover on the right (while the majority of the Reformed Graubünden churches have the pulpit on the left).
Church organization
The Evangelical Reformed Regional Church of Graubünden runs Sils-Baselgia as a place of preaching for the merged parish of Sils / Silvaplana / Champfèr within the Colloquium VII Engiadin'Ota-Bregaglia-Poschiavo-Sursès .
