Burg Friedau und Haus zur Glocke

The complex was built by the Bishop of Chur Volkhart (1237-1251). The once mighty fortification was the centre of episcopal basic jurisdiction. Later, the delinquents from the Five Villages district were imprisoned in the castle. The village fire of 1897 severely affected the complex. Today the castle is owned by the district of Five Villages. In 2001, structural safety measures were taken.

One of the oldest still inhabited buildings in Zizers is the Haus zur Glocke.
It was once an inn, to which Susten (warehouses with horse positions) were probably also attached. Later, the Haus zur Glocke served as the town hall of the district of Five Villages. It housed the district administration, the district office, the district notary's office, the debt collection and bankruptcy office and the guardianship authority. Today, the beautifully spruced up Haus zur Glocke is used purely as a residential building.
