Samedan. St .Peter Church

The Church of St. Peter (Kirche San Peter), which stands on a hill above the village, was mentioned for the first time in writing in 1139, and served as the parish church until a new one was erected on the village square. The late-Gothic church was built by Stefan Klain from Freystadt (Upper Austria) and Andreas Bühler from Gmünd (Kärnten, Austria) in 1491 (chancel) and 1492 (nave). Of the original Romanesque-style building, only the tower (built in 1100) is still standing today. The timbered and shingled belfry dates from the 18th century.
