The Chapel of Saint Benedict (Romansh: Caplutta Sogn Benedetg; German: Kapelle des Heiligen Benedikt) is a Roman Catholic church located in Sumvitg, Surselva Region, canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.
After a 1984 avalanche destroyed a Baroque chapel on the same site, the Disentis Abbey decided to build a new chapel. Architect Peter Zumthor won the architectural competition for the project. The new chapel was built between 1985 and 1989 for a total cost of CHF 600,000.[1][2] Jürg Buchli and Jürg Conzett were the engineers.
