Church in Tarasp-Fontana

Tarasp stayed catholic when the rest of the valley introduced the reformation. Thus a small catholic church was built in Fontana in 1567. The present tower and sacristy (former choir) date from that time. The rest of the present church was built 1674-78. As expected it is more ornate than the protestant churches in the region - altar incl. painting are beautiful Baroque works from 1678. Two side altars are from 1743 - also beautiful.
