St. Peter old church

The Protestant church structure stands in the canton of Grisons, featuring architectural elements established during the 15th century renovation period.

Documents from 831 mention the church as property of Pfäfers monastery, with sections of the original 9th-century nave still present in the building.

The church transformed from Rhaeto-Romanic to German language services by the end of the 16th century following the 1530 Protestant Reformation.

The church maintains its position as a class B Swiss cultural property, allowing visitors to experience regional religious architecture within Samedan's center.

The church tower originated as an independent defense structure before incorporation into the religious building complex.
