Old village part: San Spiert

In 1485, Johannes Maurizius Tempesta constructed a chapel in Pontresina to pray to the Holy Spirit, with Episcopal permission. It was only used for a short period and soon fell into oblivion. In 1941, remains of the former chapel were found in the basement rooms of the Haus Aebli, on the corner of Via Maistra and Via San Spiert. In the old village part "San Spiert", translated Holy Spirit, there are also some fine old, well preserved Engadin houses and the Catholic church San Spiert from 1923.
