Reformed Church of San Güerg, Lavin

Reformed Church of San Güerg Lavin
The church of Lavin, with its restored paintings from 1490 to 1500, is one of the most famous and most worth seeing art monuments in Graubünden. On the church tour you will gain an insight into the history of the church and the village.
The church was built around 1480. A little later, the choir walls, the choir vault and the choir arch front wall were painted over, probably by a master from northern Italy. The result was a cycle of paintings that, thanks to their quality and original representation of symbols, can be counted among the most valuable works of art in Graubünden. In 1529, when Lavin was introduced to the Reformation, the paintings were completely painted over with whitewash. In 1955 to 1956, during a church renovation, the cycle of paintings was rediscovered, uncovered and restored. The rare depiction of Jesus Christ with the three interlocking faces as a symbol of the Trinity is remarkable.

The reformed church of St. Georg (San Güerg) in Lavin is an absolute must for those who are only half interested in culture because of its frescoes!

A great jewel in a dreamlike setting
