St. Peter, Mistail, Carolingian church in Alvaschein, Switzerland
The church features three interconnected apses with stone roofs and a bell tower at the southwest corner containing round-arched sound openings.
Archaeological investigations in the 1960s and 1980s revealed that the current structure was built around 800 CE upon foundations of an earlier building.
The interior walls present three layers of murals spanning different periods: Carolingian remnants, Gothic paintings from 1400, and baroque decorations from the 1600s.
Visitors can reach the church through a forest path from a parking area near the main road or from Tiefencastel train station within ten minutes.
The north wall contains a seven-meter-high representation of Saint Christopher from 1400, depicting the patron saint of travelers inside the building.
