Description

The chapel is closed.

The chapel Sontga Catrina is located on Valserstrasse near the junction to Tersnaus. Legend has it that the devil wanted to throw the "Crap dalla Gneida" at the chapel of Sontga Catrina, he apparently missed his target.

It was built in 1759 as a replacement for an older chapel. The small chapel has a two-bay nave and a weakly retracted three-sided choir facing southeast. The altarpiece dates from 1720 and depicts a picture of the Madonna with St. Catherine and St. George. In 1911 it was renovated and received a tin roof. Over time, the chapel suffered from rising moisture and the roof was rusted. In 1990, a complete renovation was carried out, during which the chapel was dehumidified.
