St John’s in Müstair

The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listed St John Monastery in Müstair viewed from the east. The church has three apses, as are common in Carolingian designs. The north annex has a further apse while the bell tower and rectangular chapel replaced the south annex that burnt down in the early 16th century. The white Planta Tower dates from 960 – the swallowtail merlons were added later.
