Katholische Pfarrkirche St. Sebastian/S. Bistgaun, Dardin

history

In 1643, a chapel with an altar in Dardin was consecrated in honor of St. Sebastian, Rochus and Stephen. At the end of the 17th century a new building was built. The consecration with three altars took place in 1716. The brothers Carli, Gieri and Giusep Baroggi can be assumed to be masters of new construction. 1916 complete renovation, 1925 nue porch.

specifications

Baroque, southwest-facing, two-bay church without side chapels, with three-sided closed, recessed choir. Both rooms are vaulted by barrels with stitch caps, adapted to the polygon in the choir by half-dome. The lighting is provided by wide square windows in the wall zone and oculi above the main cornice. On the south side of the choir is the sacristy, whose basement houses the ossuary.

The tower stands on the south side of the nave. The lower lots belong to the old stock. The upper floors, crowned by an onion-shaped dome, were rebuilt in 1696.
