Reformed Church Hinterrhein
In 1219, the lords of Sax-Misox donated their church, which was under the patronage of St. Peter, to the collegiate monastery in San Vittore im Misox. In doing so, they established a connection between the Hinterrhein and the Italian-speaking southern valley of Graubünden that lasted until the Reformation. With the acceptance of the new faith, Hinterrhein sought a connection to Splügen.
The historically particularly valuable baptismal font in front of the inner entrance door of the church dates back to the time of the medieval Walser migration and the first settlement in Graubünden. The interior of the church is dominated by a high pulpit with a sound cover and a baptismal font in the chancel, which also serves as a communion table. The barely plastered church tower with a single-storey belfry has a flat dome.
