The Reformed Church in Zernez is a listed Evangelical Reformed church in an elevated position above the village.

Description

The preserved Romanesque tower testifies to a medieval predecessor of today's early Baroque complex. In the 15th century, the Patrozinium St. Mauritius is handed down. Knight Rudolf von Planta donated a new building, which was built in 1607 in the shell and completed in 1609.

Inside the church there are extraordinary stuccoes in the style of the early Baroque for Graubünden, mainly with richly decorated fruit motifs. In the choir there is a communion table from 1725, around which several epitaphs of important Zernezer families are stored. The organ from 1741 with a tripartite façade stands on a gallery above the choir, which dates back to 1741/1742. Right next to it is the smaller San Bastian Church.
