Friedau Castle is a charming 17th-century manor set within a spacious park just a short walk from Chur's old town. Built in the Baroque style, the castle features a striking facade with a central gable and tall windows. The surrounding park is a tranquil oasis with mature trees, lawns, and a small pond, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Inside, the castle has been adapted as a cultural center, hosting art exhibitions, concerts, theater performances, and private events. Visitors can explore the ground-floor rooms during events or by appointment. The park is always open to the public and offers benches and shaded spots for picnicking. What makes Friedau special is its blend of historic architecture and lively cultural programming, you might encounter a classical music rehearsal or a contemporary art installation. The castle also houses a popular restaurant serving regional cuisine, making it a great lunch stop.
