Vigilius and Blasius Church in Morter

This church of preromanesque origin is among the earliest and most important ecclesiastical buildings in the Vinschgau Valley. Of particular interest is the “oriental” style of the architecture. A square nave has three adjoining apses arranged in the form of a cloverleaf. The church has regular layers of stone and a bell-shaped wall on the choir gable, larger and smaller circular windows and a flat wooden ceiling in the nave, as well as a stone-framed pointed arch door with roll moulding. The inscription shows the year of consecration as 1080.
