Reformed Church of Soglio

There is first documented evidence of a church at the current location in 1354 under the patronage of Lawrence of Rome. The walls of the nave and the lower part of the tower, which received an octagonal domed top in 1765, show a Romanesque style. The church was enlarged in 1471 and received two new side altars and cross vaults. In 1499 an altar by Ivo Strigel was sold to Piuro.The choir in its current form, which is closed on three sides, was built in the pre-Reformation period in 1506 and, like the entire church interior, shows a baroque style. The church received its current appearance in 1735, including the pilaster-structured gable facade with a volute portal in a profiled granite frame. Pietro Solari, who also raised the tower, re-equipped the church in 1765. The sparse stucco ornaments on the ceiling and the pulpit decorated with a sound cover are already influenced by the Rococo era. The eye of God is in a cartouche above the choir arch. The communion table has an octagonal top with a baluster base; the rococo pulpit has a curved sound cover; the wall stalls are fluted with pilasters. The candlestick is made of Murano glass.There are aedicula-shaped wall epitaphs on the wall, including: in the choir for the von Salis family (16th - 17th centuries) in black, partly red framed marble, on the south wall of the nave (by Salis 1620 and Pestalozzi 1645) and on the north wall by relatives of the Salis from the Gugelberg families by Moos (1672), by Planta (1681) and Pestalozzi.
