Son Mitgel - St. Michael's Church, Savognin
In the upper eastern town center near Julierstrasse is the Son Mitgel church, which was built in 1658 and consecrated in 1663. It was built on the oldest previous church building in Savognin from the 9th century, which was extended in the High Middle Ages. The lower part of the tower and a section of the choir arch to the apse that is visible from the outside still date from this era.
Until 1911, the deceased found their final resting place in Son Mitgel, then in Son Martegn.
The octagonal central building contains many wall and ceiling paintings, which are highlighted by the play of light from the large chandelier, in particular the four evangelists and the four Latin church fathers depicted in the vault of the nave. The high altar from 1693 with the image of St. Archangel Michael and the two side altars from 1694 are striking. In the right side altarpiece you can see the stigmata of St. Francis as well as St. Anthony of Padua and St. Felix of Cantalice. In the picturesque altarpiece on the left side altar, Mary is depicted as the Rosary Queen, surrounded by 15 medallions with lovely depictions of the mysteries of the Rosary.
