Mals - Maria Himmelfahrt

Mals - Maria Himmelfahrt
An "ecclesia sancte Marie" is mentioned already in 1292, when the small town must have had at least five churches.

This probably Romanesque church got rebuilt mid 15th century after it burnt down, when in 1499 after the Battle of Calven "Bündner" troops (from "Graubünden" now part of Switzerland) looted Mals.

The church got rebuilt, but again severely damaged by Napoleon´s armee in 1799.
The church got reconstructed and enlarged in the early 19th century, it got consecrated in 1838. Up on the gallery some bored parishioners carved in their initials.
