Mals - St. Benedict
St. Benedict is the oldest church in the small town of of Mals (pop. 5200). It was erected end of the 8th century - and at that time belonged to the Convent of St. John in Müstair. The church conceals extremely rare interior decoration. There are frescoes that were created around 800. St. Benedict´s tower was added around 1200 - and is about 400 years younger, than the church.
Before the church was "re-discovered" in the 20th century, it was used as a barn and stable for about 200 years.
I learned here, that South Tyrol hibernates. When the ski lifts run - churches are often locked - and may open after Easter. I came too early - and so did not see the frescoes.

I actually returned in 2015, but then unfortunately I came on a Sunday evening,
and found out, that all churches and museums are closed on - Monday... I´ll give
it another try..
