Rhaetian Railway (RhB) Administration Building

The building is an expression of the so-called Bündner Heimatstil, a movement that took up regional building traditions and wanted to develop them further. The representative, but appealing administrative building of the Rhaetian Railway is one of the most important buildings of this movement. On this old town tour, the building is only explained from the outside.

Kornplatz (grain Square)

The square is older than its name: until the 17th century it was still called Klosterplatz. Then the adjoining monastery was closed and a granary was built in it. The old name of the square disappeared with the monastery from 1288. You can find out more about this important place here.

Town Hall

The politics of Chur are wrong: Anyone who looks at the town hall more closely might think that. Because of the irregular floor plan and the sloping roof ridge, the building seems to have gotten out of joint. But that is not due to politics, but to the history of the house. You can find out more about this by visiting the building from the inside.

St. Martinsplatz

Martinsplatz is located in the oldest part of Chur, in the middle between the Ober- and Untertor, and is therefore part of the historic north-south connection between the city center. The square is dominated by the St. Martin's Church. If the church is open, let's take a look inside.

The Episcopal Court towers over the old town with the cathedral, which is over 800 years old, and its late Gothic high altar gleaming in golden splendor.

Picturesque and medieval - this is how the Arcas appears today. This was different until 1971, because up to then magazine structures obstructed the space. Marvel at the beautiful Churs square.
