Public buildings to visit

The town hall is worth a visit above all for its magnificent colonnaded and rib-vaulted courtyard. It was built in 1465 in the late Gothic style after the terrible fire that devastated the city of Chur in 1464.

One of the most unusual objects is the tower stove in the Great Council Chamber.
