The Chapel

St. Anthony of Padua stands at right angles to the church, north of the forecourt. It is a square room covered with twin vaults. The murals, scenes from the life of the titular saint and the Old Testament. The altar from 1724.

From 1995-1996 the parish church, whose renovation of 1960 did not satisfy, was renovated again by the architects Fetz/Ilanz and Franz/Küsnacht/Zurich. The church received four narrow slit windows on the outer walls in the lower part on each side and five oversized rectangular lattice windows with soft painting by Gody Hirschi from Root/LU in the upper part. The ceiling, laid inside like a gable roof with wooden slats, the bright new benches and the floor covered with light stone slabs result in a modern, bright church interior of rare beauty.

The parish church was consecrated on 28 April 1996 by Vitus Huonder, Vicar General of the Diocese of Chur.
