Baselgia Church of San Güerg Lavin
The church of Lavin with its restored paintings from 1490 to 1500 is one of the most famous art monuments in Graubünden and one of the most worth seeing. On the church tour you will get an insight into the history of the church and the village.
Description
The church was built around 1480. A little later, the choir walls, the choir vault and the choir arch front wall were painted over their entire surface, presumably by a master from Northern Italy. The result is a cycle of pictures that, thanks to its quality and the 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 covered with whitewash. 1955 to 1956, on the occasion of a church renovation, the picture cycle was rediscovered, uncovered and restored. The rare depiction of Jesus Christ with the three interlocked faces as a symbol of the Trinity is remarkable.
