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.

Ausblick aus der Turmstube der Martinskirche
St. Martin's Church rises above the roofs of the old town and is characteristic for the townscape of Chur.

Description

St. Martin's Church was originally a Romanesque church built in the 8th century and conse-crated in 769 AD. It was named after St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. The church was largely destroyed during the great fire of 1464. It was rebuilt in late Gothic style and reused parts of its Carolingian predecessor. Construction was completed in 1491 and it is the largest late-Gothic building in Graubünden. This church in the Old Town was a centre and base for the Reformation in Chur from 1523. Since 1919, the three glass windows by artist Augusto Giacometti have been a special feature of this church. They depict the Christmas story.

Public Facility Chur

New staircase at Cantonal school

Neuer Aufgang Kantonsschule
New staircase cantonal school

Description

The new pedestrian connection in Chur not only bridges the difference in height between the Plessur and Halde school grounds, but turns it into an eventful path with a rapid succession of views of the cathedral, the old town, the mountains, and the Plessur and Rhine Valleys.
Although the connection leads under a road, it runs above ground as much as possible, closely following the slope of the topography and thus giving you the feeling of being «in the countryside». Most of the structure touches the rock, is carved out of the rock, or lies snug against the rock. The roof over this massive base is made of weather-proof steel.
