St. Benedikt is a pre-Romanesque church in Mals, South Tyrol, known for its Carolingian-era frescoes.
It was built in the second half of the 8th century. Until the 12th century, it was owned by the bishops of Chur.
In the 12th century, the romanesque tower was added.
In the 18th century, under Joseph II, the building was used for storage. Use as a sacral building was resumed only in the 20th century, after the discovery of the Carolingian frescoes.
