Reformed church Lohn

Description

There are no records of the construction of St. Anthony's Church. However, a church in Mathon was mentioned as early as 831. The visible church ruins of St. Anthony are located below the village and are dated to the beginning of the 13th century. A semicircular apse was uncovered during excavations in 1956. It dates from the late Carolingian period and extends to the choir of the newer building. The discovered fragments from the Romanesque and pre-Romanesque periods were handed over to the Rhaetian Museum. The tower, which was raised in 1528 and contains a late Gothic bell storey, has been preserved. In addition, the walls of the recently completed choir with barrel vaulting and the late Romanesque nave still exist. Individual traces of paint suggest that the nave was once completely painted.
