Reformierte Kirche St. Moritz, Reformed church building in St. Moritz, Grisons, Switzerland
Reformierte Kirche St. Moritz is an evangelical-reformed church in the centre of St. Moritz Dorf, built in 1785–1787 to a design by architect Antonio Geronimi. Its neo-Gothic bell tower dates from 1896–1897 and ends in a spire topped by a sphere and a rooster. A gold-coloured cubic porch marks the entrance, and the hall-like interior, redesigned in 2007, holds a large organ installed in 1975.
The village church was built between 1785 and 1787 to a design by architect Antonio Geronimi. Its neo-Gothic tower in its present form dates from 1896–1897. The interior was last restored and completely redesigned in 2007, when the hall-like space was brightened and fitted with mobile seating.
The five bells carry Romansh inscriptions, such as "Gloria a Dieu nellas otezzas" on the 3,459 kg storm bell, cast by Theus in 1895. The 900 kg midday bell of 1715, cast by Matheus Albert of Chur, bears a Latin inscription. In June 2009 the Synod of Graubünden met in this village church.
The interior has been updated to include flexible seating that can be arranged for different types of services and events. Visitors should expect that the space may be configured differently depending on what is taking place.
The five bells in the tower carry Romansh inscriptions, and the midday bell is older than the present church: Matheus Albert of Chur cast it in 1715. The largest, the storm bell, weighs 3,459 kg and was cast by Theus in 1895; three others followed in 1897.
