Church San Bernardino Mesolcina Calanca
Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo
Description
In 1611, the Bishop of Chur came to Lostallo to visit the Church of St. George and approved the construction of a new church. In 1626 the walls were erected and on April 10, 1633 the church was consecrated. It was dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo, who had passed through Mesolcina 50 years earlier. In 1639, however, it did not yet have a bell tower, which was probably built in the second half of the 17th century. It was restored in 1838 and 1959. The church is a simple building with a square choir and a bell tower to the north, which has an octagonal crown. The facades are smooth. The granite portal frame bears the date 1838, the roof is made of poplar wood. The bell of the church is already shining. The bell seems to have been cast in 1432 and probably comes from the parish church.
