The Sewing-Machine Museum in Chur exhibits 120 selected sewing machines of various makes and countries of origin. These exhibits are taken from a comprehensive collection of some 300 historical machines, which has been built up over several years by museum founder and sewing-machine technician Bernd Pittermann. The items on show include manual sewing machines, electrically-operated machines and machines designed for children. A few industrial machines are also on show, alongside their domestic equivalents. The collection is complemented by a series of historical accessories, photographs and advertising signs.

The museum pays particular attention to the development of the sewing machine from 1871 to 1940, and individual highlights of the collection include a machine made by Loewe of Berlin (Germany). All the machines are in working order, and some of them can be tried out.

Finds suggest that the Saum route via Kunkels Pass was already crossed during Roman times. The route later took on great importance for the monastery of Pfäfers which owned a lot of land in Graubünden. Kunkels Pass was an alternative route for times when the Rhine valley was inaccessible due to flooding, or to bypass the tolling stations located in the valley. The Saum route also connected the alpine pastures of Tamins to the markets in the south. The current narrow road with its panoramic tunnel (width 2.3m) towards Tamins was constructed during the First World War. Kunkels Pass connects Vättis in the canton of St. Gallen to Tamins in Graubünden. On the Kunkels Pass there are the Tamins pasture alp Überuf and the mountain restaurant Überuf. The plateau is surrounded by impressive mountain formations such as the Calanda, the Crap Mats or the Ringelspitz.  The impressive mountain landscape is part of the UNESCO World Heritage tectonic arena Sardona. The municipality of Tamins has set up an interesting showroom on the Kunkels Pass.

The complex of the Catholic Heiligkreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross) and the adjoining parish centre occupies a prominent position at the Masanserstrasse/Giacomettistrasse road axis in the Masans district of Chur. It was built in 1966-69 by Walter M. Förderer and is one of the most important exposed concrete religious buildings in Switzerland. Both the nave and the massive tower have a clear, tiered structure that make the building look like a large expressive sculpture. The column-free, gradually opening semi-circular main room is mostly indirectly lit, which makes it seem like a rock cave.

Several prehistoric settlements and remains of a Roman road station have been discovered in Welschdörfli, the old town district south of the Plessur. You can visit the excavations and discoveries on the Ackermann grounds on Seilerbahnweg.

The protective structures covering the archaeological sites from the Roman era were built in 1986 according to designs by local architect Peter Zumthor. They do not only protect the finds, they are also a museum and architectural masterpiece. The weighty building with its delicate rilled outer surface is reminiscent of the original Roman edifices.
