Kirche Son Mitgel (oua_54459646_image)
The tower between the choir and the nave: substructure from the Romanesque period. Bell floor with pilasters and pointed helmet give it the elegance of the baroque Campanile.

Description

The ship's dome closes in a lantern.

On the site of today's St. Michael's Church, there were already two medieval predecessor buildings. The current building was built between 1658 and 1663 and was built by Father Francesco da Vigevano. On June 22, 1663, the Bishop of Chur, Ulrich VI de Mont, consecrated the new church and consecrated it to the Archangel Michael. Throughout the Middle Ages, Michael appeared as the protector of the pious souls and their bodies to be welcomed into the place of the blessed. Since Son Mitgel served from the beginning as a chaplaincy and as a funeral church, the patronage of St. Michael seems obvious.
