San Bastiaun (Samedan)
The Roman Catholic chapel San Bastiaun (also St. Sebastian) stood in the municipality of Samedan , Graubünden ( Switzerland ) in the Maloja region in the diocese of Chur at the fork in the streets San Bastiaun and Chaunt da San Bastiaun and near today's golf hotel Des Alpes . She was dedicated to St. Sebastian and was built around 1300.
The chapel was first mentioned in 1501, as was the now-defunct St. Antonius chapel, where today's Protestant parish church is located. The Italian reformer Pietro Paolo Vergerio preached in the chapel from 1549, the Reformation was introduced in 1550 and Catholic services were abolished in 1551 . Since 1860 the proportion of the Catholic population of Samedan increased again strongly to around 39% today and in 1864 the Capuchin Father Hilarion from Bivio read the first Catholic mass again. In 1911 the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was built in the neo-Romanesque style. The Bastiaun Chapel had been used by the Catholics since 1892 and was demolished in 1914. The culturally valuable parts of the ceiling, gallery and choir stalls have been preserved in the Swiss National Museum .
The streets of San Bastiaun and Chaunt da San Bastiaun still remind of this chapel in Samedan.
