St. Theodul Church, Sion

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of St. Thèodule, Sion
The first church on this site was built in the High Middle Ages on the ruins of a Roman bath. The current building was built between 1514 and 1516 on the site of a previous building. The vault of the choir (before 1502; completed in 1514), which is representative of the Flamboyant Gothic style, was made by a master builder from Valsesia who has been identified - perhaps incorrectly - with Ulrich Ruffiner. The nave was vaulted in 1644 by Adrien III von Reidmatten. The church was renovated from 1960 to 1964.
The church has been included in the list of cultural assets of national importance.
The church has a single nave and a polygonal choir. The buttresses supporting the nave have niches and canopies for statues, although most have been removed. A small stair tower is built into the southern wall at the western end of the church.
