Crap la Tretscha

This Central Grisons landscape seems lonely and natural. But it also has a lot to offer in terms of cultural history. The parish church of Stierva, built around 1520, has an impressively beautiful interior; a highly complex diamond net adorns the ceiling, below which there is a late Gothic wing age. In Alvaschein and in Lantsch/Lenz there are works by the travelling painter Hans Ardüser from 1600 – directly on house facades. And south of Alvaschein, well hidden behind a wooded hill, lies the church of Mistail. For more than 1200 years, this simple church has stood picturesquely on the edge of the Schin Gorge. With its three choir rounds, it is the only unobstructed three-apse church in Switzerland.
