Kathedrale St. Mariä Himmelfahrt

A rather cozy cathedral with a rich history dating back to the 12th–13th century, officially consecrated in 1272. It was built on the site of even older churches, with archaeological finds reaching all the way to the 5th century. The cathedral mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles, with its massive Romanesque west window being considered the largest medieval window in the Graubünden region. Inside, you’ll find a beautiful late-Gothic high altar carved by Jakob Russ in 1492. The tower was significantly rebuilt after a fire in 1811. An interesting fact: during the Reformation, the cathedral and the surrounding bishop’s court became a kind of Catholic island in the city—separated from the rest of Chur for almost three centuries.

Quite a beautiful Cathedral with some very interesting art. The one altar that is to the left just as you enter is amazing - it is dated to the 16th century but there is no attribution to any artist. The main altar, however, is the best piece of art and is magnificent.

Such a beautiful church, very different from most churches you see in Switzerland ❤️

Really beautiful, and great Cathedral. Entrance is free of charge for public.

Beautiful little church in Chur with a serene atmosphere. If you're taking the glacier Express to Zermatt from Chur then keep some extra time in hand and stop by here. You will be glad you did!

The starkness of the outside hides the richness of local history and the Catholic faith found within. A pilgrim stop site along the *Camino a San Santiago".

Centuries old beautiful cathedral . Quiet place to sit and pray, open throughout the day . Adding holy eucharist timings for benefit of faithful who are visiting Chur

One of the landmarks in Chur. Fairly small for a Cathedral. Located in the old town area. Was closed when we were there. Peaceful surroundings and well maintained building and cemetery. About a 20 minute walk from the station.
