St. Remigius, Medieval church in Falera, Switzerland.

Description

St. Remigius is a church in Falera featuring a massive stone tower with a pyramid roof constructed in the late 15th century. The unplastered Romanesque structure houses four bells and a single-nave interior space with a Gothic chancel.

History

A church at this location was first recorded in the 9th century, while the current building was erected between 1475 and 1491. In the early 20th century, religious services shifted to a newer church, though this structure retained its status as a historical monument.

Culture

The interior displays Gothic features with paintings adorning the walls, including a striking Last Supper composition from the 17th century. These artworks reveal the religious devotion that shaped this building across the centuries.

Practical

The building is visible from outside and can be visited by those interested in local architecture and history. Access is open, and its position within the village makes it straightforward to find, though hours may vary depending on the season.

Did you know?

Stone pillars surround the building grounds, thousands of years older than the church itself and arranged in geometric patterns. These enigmatic stones hint at human habitation long before the current structure was constructed.
