St. George's Chapel, Georgenberg, Berschis
The St. George's Chapel, located between Zurich and Chur, is probably already well known to most people, as many have already driven past it on the motorway. However, the St. George's Chapel is a really worthwhile destination for a trip for many reasons! Architecturally, it is the oldest surviving Romanesque church in eastern Switzerland. The first written mention probably dates back to 1253. Facing southeast, it has a two-aisled vaulted structure, which is unique in Switzerland. In the 17th century, the St. George's Chapel was extended with an annex. However, the changes made were partially reversed during a renovation in 1900. The oldest surviving part of the St. George's Chapel is the apse (the vault that protrudes in the structure) together with the two-aisled hall. Both were probably built in the 1st millennium AD.

Strong lines of force on Georgenberg, Berschis (place of power)
Finally, St. George's Chapel is a destination for open-minded people for another reason. The chapel itself is (like many churches) a place of power. On the one hand, this chapel was built on a point on the earth where the earth's meridians intersect, which means that the earth's energy pathways run along there. On the other hand, over time, every church absorbs the energy of the people praying and singing in it. Anyone who has ever walked the Way of St. James and stopped in the churches, some of which are 1,000 years old, will find the same thing there as in St. George's Chapel. An atmosphere of devotion, yes, of healing. (According to the geobiologist Blanche Merz, who died in 2002, Georgenberg, on which the chapel stands, is a place of strong power in Switzerland, which is also reflected in a measurement based on Bovis units). A vibration of 18,500 Bovis units can be detected in the chapel.
