UNESCO World Heritage Day 2025

The monastery of St. Johann in Müstair is celebrating a special anniversary on this year's World Heritage Days: 1250 years have passed since the monastery complex was founded. Since then, the monastery has been continuously inhabited, currently by eight Benedictine nuns, and tells a unique story that has been characterized by changes over the centuries.
