Kapelle Sogn Gion e Sogn Paul, Vrin/Vanescha

According to the inscription on the altar threshold, the chapel was built in 1684. With its crosses for avalanche victims above the entrance, it is still a place of procession and pilgrimage today.

Description

The chapel is open in summer and closed in winter.

The small chapel with an almost square choir, vaulted by a barrel with stab caps, was built according to the inscription on the altar threshold in 1684. On the wall of the choir arch there is a bell bay. On the bell is the inscription 1683. The small altar dates from the time of construction. The picture depicts the decapitation of the cartridge.

(Collected by: Regiun Surselva)

The chapel with its crosses for avalanche victims above the entrance is still a place of procession and pilgrimage. Its powers are high and suggest a pre-Christian cult site.
