Chapel Chur

St. Luzi chapel

St. Luzikapelle, Chur
The St. Luzi chapel is located in a rock grotto on the hiking trail from the old town of Chur towards Mittenberg and is a fascinating place of peace and reflection.

Description

The St. Luzi chapel is situated at an altitude of about 900 metres, about 45 minutes on foot from the old town of Chur on a hiking trail in the direction of Mittenberg. It is located within a rock grotto and forms a picturesque but also wild place of peace and reflection. It is under the patronage of Luzius of Chur and is owned by the St. Luzi Seminary of the Chur Theological University.

Hikers can climb up to Mittenberg, to the village of Maladers or further up to Fürhörnli or even Montalin. Experienced bikers appreciate the technical descent from the Mittenberg via St. Luzikapelle into the valley.

Catholic Church Chur

St. Stephan's Church

Kirche St. Stephan
The remains of St. Stephen's Church are one of the most important architectural monuments of early Christianity north of the Alps.

Description

Below the Halde cantonal school's playground stands the most important monument of early Christianity in Graubünden: the remains of St. Stephen's church, which was built in the 5th century and served as a burial church for the bishops of Chur. It was rediscovered in 1850 during construction of the first cantonal school. It was fully excavated in 1955-56 and completely encapsulated during the reconstruction of the school in the 1970s and integrated into the building underground. In the course of the total renovation completed in 2010, the space was converted into a museum worthy of the church's importance and opened to the public.

You can also explore the remains of the St. Stephen's Church on your own. The key for admission is available from the secretariat of the Graubünden Cantonal School. For reservations call +41 81 257 51 51 or mail  to franziska.ackermann@bks.gr.ch . Please note the opening hours of the cantonal school.

Or you can book a guided tour of St. Stephan. Additional information.

Catholic Church Chur

Church of St. Regula

Kirche St. Regula
Reformed church in the old town. The second Reformed church in the Old Town (cf. St. Martin) is a late Gothic building from 1494-1500 on a Carolingian and a Romanesque predecessor.

Description

This outwardly unspectacular religious building was built between 1494 and 1500 in a late Gothic style by Feldkirch master builder, Balthasar Bilgeri. This is revealed in the interior in a particularly impressive way; the nave and the adjoining choir feature stone ribs and a stellar vault, which are typical of this period. There is also a large wall painting from 1504 depicting Christ on the cross. The furnishings mainly date from the last century. Particularly remarkable are the window paintings by the Basel artist, Hanns Studer, executed in the late 1960s.

Public Facility Chur

Architecture: Graubünden Museum of Art

Architektur: Bündner Kunstmuseum
The Bündner Kunstmuseum - a balancing act between tradition and modernity

Description

The Bündner Kunstmuseum (Graubünden Museum of Art) consists of two buildings - the neoclassical Villa Planta from 1875 and the extension by the architects Barozzi & Veiga from the 2016. The Villa Planta is one of the most important 19th-century buildings in Graubünden and one of the most magnificent works by the architect Johannes Ludwig. With its partially sumptuous decor, it stands in contrast to the striking yet simple new building. The Palladian style and the Orientalist building design that constitute the essential characteristic of the Villa Planta are taken up and given new architectural expression by the extension building.

Opening hours

Würth International AG

Würth International AG
Forum Würth with sculpture park

Description

Openness, brightness, transparency - these were factors that were set as criteria for the creation of the Würth company building. The Chur-based architectural firm commissioned with the building, Jüngling & Hagmann, has implemented these factors to perfection, creating an impressive building that creates a stir for miles around. The separate body of the new administrative Würth holding company building is a light, transparently decorated space connected to the extensive parkland and integrated into the open spaces of the natural environment as a free-standing building. The publicly accessible Würth Chur Forum is also housed in the building.
