Church Bregaglia Engadin
Chiesa San Martino


Description
The building, designed as a hall church with a wide semicircular apse, was consecrated as a uniform Romanesque building on 30 January 1250 by Bishop Volkard von Neuburg. The simple building with its important proto-Renaissance paintings from the 15th century, in particular the depiction of the Last Supper, is one of the most important in the canton.
During the restoration in 1960/61, frescoes depicting St. Christopher, St. Martin, John the Evangelist, James the Elder, Anthony the Hermit and the coats of arms of Bishop Ortlieb von Brandis (1458-1491) were discovered and uncovered on the main eastern façade. On the south wall of the nave, cut by the supporting pillar of the vault, a last supper. The table is richly set with wine, bread, an Easter lamb, fish, artichokes and crabs.
Thanks to its excellent acoustics, St. Martin's Church is often used for concerts.
