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.
