| Remarks & Notes |
| The Interregio 1141 of the Rhaetian Railway from Chur over the Albula line to St.Moritz is passing the Mistail church from the 9th century in the Schin gorge between Solis and Tiefencastel. Pulling is not visible Ge 4/4 III # 648 "watson". The church of St. Peter Mistail is a Carolingian triple apse church in Alvaschein (municipality of Albula/Alvra) and the only unbuilt triple apse church in Switzerland. The exact date of origin is not known, but it is assumed to be around the year 800. Mistail is indirectly mentioned in the year 823 in a letter of complaint from Bishop Victor of Chur to Louis the Pious. The monastery is first mentioned in a document in 926 in a deed of donation from Henry I to Bishop Walde. The fact that the monastery is named and has the same patronage as the convent in Cazis leads to the assumption that Mistail was founded by the convent in Cazis. |
