Tastmodell Churer Altstadt
Tastmodell Churer Altstadt
graspable art for blind and visually impaired people The tactile model is also a point of attraction for residents and visitors to Chur.

Description

The oldest city in Switzerland can be experienced through touch due to the historic centre tactile model. The model helps people who are blind and vision-impaired to get an idea of what the Chur historic centre is like. At the same time, it is a useful tool for city tours and an attraction for children. The bronze model is located in the Chur city centre on Martinsplatz. The 1:500 stands on a concrete base and is also accessible to wheelchair drivers. The names of the most important buildings are in letters and in braille for the blind.

Unterer Spaniöl

Unterer Spaniöl
Unterer Spaniöl
Manor house Untere Spaniöl, in the picturesque Süsswinkelgasse

Description

This late Gothic building was constructed in the 15th century. Both the main steps and the entrance doors, with their decorative architrave, date back to this period. Some two centuries later, in 1654, the building was renovated and extended, employing the baroque stylistic devices of the day. The interior reveals magnificently furnished rooms. These include a spacious garden room, the “Sala terrena”, on the ground floor and, on the first floor, a room with a baroque stucco ceiling and, adjoining it, a late Gothic room with well-preserved wall panels from the late 15th century.

Graubünden Cantonal Bank

Postplatz
Headquarters Graubündner Kantonalbank in Chur

Description

The architecture of modern banks is usually clear-cut and cool, and thus often detached from its surroundings. However, this is certainly not the case with the head office of the Graubünden Cantonal Bank; erected between 1909 and 1911, the building by architects Otto Schäfer and Martin Risch is a veritable icon of the “Bündner Heimatstil” movement. Its close ties with Graubünden are in evidence right down to the smallest detail; wherever you look there are motifs from local folklore. In the main hall is a wall painting by the Chur artist, Christian Conradin, depicting Graubünden’s economy.
