Fürstenau - a miniature town
An episcopal Meierhof as the origin of Fürstenau
The episcopal power in Domleschg was probably already established in the era of the Frankish Empire, in the first millennium. The incompletely preserved imperial urbar (property and tax register of the imperial rule) from 831 shows that a ministry Tumliasca (episcopal administrative apparatus of Domleschg) existed. This was headed by a vicedominus with judicial authority. It is conceivable that the episcopal administration was originally based in Hohenrätien above Sils i.D., but was moved early on to one of the three Carolingian royal courts of Scharans, Almens and Tomils. An administrative official (Meier) of the bishop probably took up residence in the Baumgartenland Maros near Fürstenau. The name Maros goes back to the Latin word ad majoranem, the accusative of maiora (= Meierei or Meierhof). From this, via ad maioranes, the name Mairaus developed, which first appears in documents as the name for Fürstenau in the first half of the 12th century.
The development into a town
In the course of the 14th century, the sovereign large castle acquired a modest urban character due to denser settlement in the outer castle. A document from 1383 attests that an outer castle (lat. atrium) was located in front of the main castle opposite the bridge. Peasant and artisan subjects were settled here who were responsible for providing for the castle lords, and, as the Stoffel house shows, apparently also knightly servants.
In 1347, the castle served as security for the bishop to return to the captivity of the Count of Tyrol, from which he had been released. Fürstenau was then handed over to Walter von Stadion. In 1351, an arbitration court had to decide the dispute over Fürstenau Castle between the bishop and the Counts of Montfort. Finally, in 1367, Fürstenau was occupied by the cathedral chapter and the bishop's vassals. In 1387, it again became important in connection with the expansion of the Septimer Pass by Johann von Castelmur.

Restaurant - Casa Caminada, Furstenau
Casa Caminada is more than the sum of its stones and beams. It is a place of peace and security, of culinary traditions and discoveries. Down-to-earth and cosmopolitan, lovingly designed and passionately run. With a luxury: space to dream and relax. An ode to simplicity, a bow to Graubünden and its people.

Fürstenau - town in miniature
An episcopal Meierhof as the origin of Fürstenau
The episcopal power in Domleschg was probably already developed in the epoch of the Frankish Empire, in the first millennium. The incompletely preserved Reichsurbar (list of goods and taxes of the imperial rule) from 831 shows that a ministry Tumliasca (bishop's administrative apparatus Domleschg) existed. This faced a vicedominus with judicial authority. It is conceivable that the episcopal administration was originally based in Hohenrätien ob Sils i.D. had, but had been moved to one of the three Carolingian royal courts of Scharans, Almens and Tomils early on. Presumably an administrative officer (Meier) of the bishop took up residence in Baumgartenland Maros near Fürstenau. The name Maros goes back to the Latin word ad majoranem, the accusative of maiora (= dairy farm or farmstead). From this, the name Mairaus developed via ad maioranes, which as a name for Fürstenau first appears in documents in the first half of the 12th century.
The development of the city
In the course of the 14th century, the sovereign large castle acquired a modest urban character as a result of the denser settlement of the outer bailey. A document from 1383 testifies that the main castle was in front of the bridge to a bailey (lat. atrium). Peasant and artisan subjects lived here, who were responsible for the supply of the lords of the castle, and, as the House of Stoffel shows, apparently also knightly servants.
Architectural and political developments are interrelated. In the middle of the 14th century, the diocese of Chur not only managed to obtain market privileges, but also a place of jurisdiction for blood justice. King Charles IV had Bishop Ulrich V (1331-1355) present a diploma on May 13, 1354, which gave Fürstenau the right to jail, sticks and gallows, as well as the holding of two annual markets on St. Michael's and St. George's Day . This meant that Fürstenau had also become a city in a legal sense. Its expansion from 1354 coincides with that of the castle mentioned in 1272.
The town was not only of great importance as a trading and market place, it had also risen to become the center of princely possessions in the upper part of the Domleschg. So the castle has clearly proven itself as a strong attraction.
Around 1300, a territorialization process began in the Graubünden area, which had a significant influence on political events up until after 1450. Noble dominions such as that of the Lords of Rhäzüns supplemented or overlaid the episcopal dominion. Neither party had a closed territory.
As early as the first half of the 14th century, Fürstenau was drawn into the maelstrom of the episcopal power struggles. The few surviving documentary mentions of Fürstenau should be seen in this context: In 1333 the bishop promised the lords of Rhäzüns 1000 marks, four hundred of them through Fürstenau Castle, which was then pledged. In 1347 the castle served as security so that the bishop would go back into the captivity of the Count of Tyrol, from which he had been released. Fürstenau was then handed over to Walter von Stadion. In 1351 an arbitral tribunal had to decide the dispute over Fürstenau Castle between the bishop and the Counts of Montfort. Finally, in 1367, Fürstenau was occupied by the cathedral chapter and the bishop's vassals. In 1387 it regained great importance in connection with the expansion of the Septimer Pass by Johann von Castelmur.

Old lime tree Scharans

A few meters from Bardill's studio, on the church square in Scharans, stands the oldest linden tree in Switzerland: the now hollow tree is 800 years old. A wonderful place to linger.

Reformed Church of Scharans
Highlight • Natural Monument
The Reformed church in Scharans in the canton of Grisons is a listed Protestant-Reformed church.
inside view
History and equipment
The present church is a new building by the Carinthian architect Andreas Bühler from pre-Reformation period from 1489 to 1490. The steeple with exposed masonry shows Romanesque style and was last restored in 1986. Inside the church, in the choir, which is spanned by a net vault, there is a peculiar, also Romanesque baptismal font composed of two hemispheres. The pulpit with the sound cover dates back to the 17th century. The organ was created in 1981 by Orgelbau Kuhn AG.
In the early years of the Grisons turmoil from 1618 to 1620, the Scharanser church was the sermon church of Jörg Jenatsch.
