Reformed Church of Grüsch

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church building was erected in 1720 on the site of two predecessor churches, which were also under the patronage of St. Antonius and were subsidiary churches of Schiers until the Reformation, before they became independent and received burial rights. It is striking that the tower is separated from the nave by a distance of 10 meters. The 1880 new cemetery, which replaced the old churchyard that had become too small, is 125 meters from the church near the Pfrundhausgarten. The relocation of the newer church and older tower can be explained by earlier storms and the associated destruction.

Beautiful view of the Rhine and the wide mountain landscape.

The arched bridge, which is around 100 m long and 11 m wide, has two lanes and a wide pedestrian and cycle path on the south side. Its two flat arches have a span of 85 m. They are made of reinforced concrete in the area below the roadway and of steel in the middle area above the roadway. The concrete roadway slab rests on steel yokes that are suspended from the arches.

Mapraggsee

Highlight • Lake

Mapraggsee
The Mapraggsee is located in the Tamina valley at an altitude of 865 meters above sea level. Located in the St. Gallen municipality of Pfäfers, the Mapragg reservoir is operated by the Sarganserwald power plants, just like the Gigerwaldsee upstream. In addition to the Tamina, which also flows out of the reservoir, the Mapraggsee is fed by the Bschissnenbach, the Läuibach and various other streams.
The Mapragg reservoir is located in the middle between the villages of Vättis and Pfäfers. This stretch is also covered by a post bus service. On the east side of the Mapraggsee, a road runs slightly above the shore.

Maienfeld Castle

Highlight • Castle

Maienfeld Castle (Brandis), Maienfeld
As a former, important feudal seat in Maienfeld, the castle complex is still an important landmark of the area. And rightly so: the mighty castle tower was built around 1247 as the oldest structure in the castle complex. Around 100 years later, the castle was expanded to become the "Old Castle", which now houses the restaurant and bistro. Opposite is the striking "Toggenburgerhaus". It was named after Count Friedrich VII of Toggenburg, who also built this palace. The barons of Brandis, to whom the castle owed its name for 150 years, then took over the scepter. At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle and the Maienfeld lordship went to the "Three Leagues", who used the castle as the residence and official residence of various bailiffs. From the 18th century, however, the castle fell into individual parts of the building and was only rebuilt in the mid-20th century as it is today. The castle now includes various catering and event rooms, apartments, offices and a vineyard and is owned by the local Zindel family.
The castle was originally named after the town of Maienfeld - depending on the spelling Meyenfeld, Mayenfeld or Maienfeld. In order to honor history, but also because of the inglorious past of the Barons of Brandis, the castle will be given its original name "Maienfeld" again from 2020.
