Rhaetian Museum, Chur
Once a mansion, now a museum for the general public:
The Rätisches Museum once served as a private residence for Paul von Buol zu Strass and Rietberg. In 1675 the baron bought the property and built a baroque building in place of the old armory. In the 19th century the house became a site of cultural and historical memory. At that time, people around the lawyer and politician Peter Conradin von Planta were concerned about the migration of Graubünden cultural assets and wanted to put a stop to this development with a collection. This resulted in the Rhaetian Museum.

Old Town and St. Martin's Church, Chur

Highlight • Historical Site

Chur is the oldest city in Switzerland with a settlement history of over 5,000 years. The historic old town is well worth seeing and completely car-free. It offers an astonishingly large range of cultural offers, shopping opportunities, cafes, restaurants and bars.

Chur has one of the most intact old towns in Switzerland. It has been continuously restored over the past 20 years and is now practically entirely traffic-free. The old town is often the setting for colorful markets, for example every Saturday morning from May to October is the weekly market (farmers' market) and the traditional Christmas market takes place at the end of the year.

Chur Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

City Hall of Chur
Things are wrong with Chur's politics: That's what anyone who takes a closer look at the town hall might think. Because of the irregular floor plan and the sloping roof ridge, the building appears to be out of joint. But this is not due to politics, but rather to the history of the house. After the city fire of 1464, the building was rebuilt and then expanded and redesigned several times. The Hospital of the Holy Spirit was also housed here until 1554. The interior of the building also reflects the varied history of the town hall with its cultural assets from different times.
