Reformierte Kirche Klosters, Reformed church in Klosters, Switzerland

The Reformed Church of Klosters is a stone building with tall windows and a notable bell tower set against the mountain landscape of Graubünden. Its structure stands prominently in the center of the village and forms a focal point of the settlement.

A Premonstratensian monastery stood here from 1220, giving Klosters its name; only the north tower with its tent roof survives from that medieval phase. The nave and choir were rebuilt in 1493, before the Reformation, and the parish adopted the Calvinist reform in 1528 with the whole Prättigau valley. Damaged during the Bündner Wirren, the nave was rebuilt in 1723; the church was last restored in 1921.

The church serves as a gathering place where the local Reformed community continues its spiritual traditions through regular services. These religious observances have shaped the rhythm of life in Klosters for generations.

The church can be reached on foot from Klosters train station or by taking the local bus to the village center. It sits on an easy route that most visitors can explore without difficulty.

The tower is the only surviving part of the medieval Premonstratensian monastery first documented in 1220, and it gave the village its name: Kloster means cloister. The rest of the church is a pre-Reformation rebuild of 1493, so the tower is older than the nave it adjoins.
