Medels im Rheinwald
Highlight • Settlement
In 1530, Medels, together with the other communities in the Rheinwald, accepted the Reformation and finally separated from the centuries-long affiliation with the Misox, which remained with the old faith. The church was built in 1708 and served as the parish church of its own parish from 1726 to 1886, until Medels merged with Splügen again.
The church tower has a tent roof and is positioned on the hillside in such a way that it protects the entrance area from avalanches or snow slides. The simple interior is dominated by a pulpit without a sound cover and a baptismal and communion table in the middle of the choir.

You can live particularly peacefully and eat very, very well in the “Hotel Bodenhaus”. It is rumored that Napoleon, Queen Victoria and Albert lived here. More information: hotel-bodenhaus.ch.
