Sculmserhof

Sculmserhof 2
Sculmserhof 1
Thanks to a lot of heart and soul, passion and love for the cause and, of course, with the help of Mother Nature, the finest organic fresh meat and other natural and delicious products thrive at the Sculmserhof.

Description

The Sculmserhof is located in mountain zone 3, in a hamlet in the municipality of Safiental and is managed according to the Bio Suisse guidelines. We keep suckler cows, ewes, goats, laying chickens, livestock guard dogs and border collies. All our animals are slaughtered in the Safiental butcher's cooperative. We will drive you to the butcher's shop and accompany you to the end. This results in fine delicacies:

  • Bratwurst (beef, sheep, goat)
  • Homemade sausages (beef)
  • Käsekrainer
  • Cervelas (beef)
  • Wienerli (beef)
  • Meatloaf
  • Salsiz (beef, sheep, goat)
  • Mostbröckli (beef, sheep, goat)

From the young cattle of the Sculmserhof (between 8 and 10 months old) mixed packages with fresh meat can be ordered, which include minced meat, sliced meat, starter, entercote, fillet, saddle steak, roast, rump, boiled meat, biscuits, juice biscuits and knuckles. 

The lambs of the Sculmserhof are about 8 months old and can be ordered as half or whole lamb (portioned and vacuumed). Gitzi, which are about 12 months old, can also be ordered from the Sculmserhof. In order to use as much as possible, the skins of the sheep, lambs, goats and Gitzi are tanned. The size and color vary.
The chickens give the Sculmserhof fresh eggs every day, which are sold in the farm shop and in the Volg shops (Bonaduz, Tamins, Trin, Trin Mulin and Flims). It is possible to take out an egg subscription, which is very well received by customers (egg delivery service to the milk crate). The previous eggs are used to make pretzels and pasta.
The livestock guard dogs ensure the protection of the animals. The Sculmserhof itself trains livestock guard dogs for the farm and for the Swiss Livestock Protection Association. The dogs come to the Sculmserhof at 12 weeks and at about 15 months they pass the operational readiness test (EBÜ) and can be used as official livestock guard dogs.

Kirchgasse

Kirchgasse
Historical church alley

Description

In the shadow of the Kirche St. Martin is a row of houses of considerable historical significance. Situated on Martinsplatz itself, Haus Reydt, with its three-storey oriel, was built in 1574 in the late Gothic style. Adjoining it is Haus Menhardt, erected the same year and in the same style. Next door is the even older Antistitium, whose neighbouring building contains important paintings from 1580. These depict, in a comical reversal of reality, rabbits catching a hunter. The Zunfthaus der Schneider (guildhall of the tailors’ guild) was rebuilt following the city fire in 1464. Today it houses an armchair theatre.

Martinsplatz is located in the oldest district of Chur and is dominated by St. Martin's Church and the fountain in front of it.

Description

The St. Martin's square lies in the oldest part of Chur, midway between the two towers, the Obertor and the Untertor, thus forming part of the historical north-south route through the inner city. It is dominated by the Kirche St. Martin. The Martinsbrunnen dates from 1716. Its basin is adorned with signs of the zodiac. Apart from the sign-holder and the columns, the fountain is still in its original state.

Maltese tower

Malteserturm
Striking Maltese Tower

Description

The origin of the name of this four-storey edifice, the Malteserturm (Maltese Tower), is not documented, nor is there any record of a link with the so-called Order of the Knights of Malta. Its previous name, however, is rather more revealing – Pulverturm (Gunpowder Tower), which derives from its earlier function as a gunpowder magazine. The tower also once formed the southwesterly corner pillar of the city walls, which were erected during the first half of the 13th century. To this day, the Malteserturm marks the transition from the Old Town to the more recent settlement outside the former city walls.
