| Abstract: | Located in the in the extreme southeastern part of Switzerland, the Abbey of Saint John at Müstair was founded around 775. The monastery, although preserving a large part of its original fabric, underwent a series of later additions and modifications, amongst which the late Gothic vaulting of the Carolingian church is one of the more important (1488–92). Notwithstanding the importance of the site, these vaults have never been studied in detail. Based on first-hand observations at Müstair and neighbouring contemporary church buildings, the late Gothic building phase will be investigated through building archaeology in the present contribution. In particular, similarities and differences between the abbey church at Müstair and the architecturally closely related Spitalkirche at Meran will be scrutinized. |
