Our tip for the following stage of the Way of St. James Graubünden:

Cathedral of St. Mary's Assumption in Chur: The Episcopal Court towers over the old town with the more than 800-year-old cathedral and its late Gothic high altar shining in golden splendor. The cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and is one of the most important cultural monuments in Switzerland. In 2020, a cathedral treasure museum opened in Chur, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral. In addition to the impressive cathedral treasure, the exhibition also includes the monumental cycle of death pictures from 1543, the so-called "Chur Dance of Death", which is unique in Switzerland.
