As early as 1272 there was a palace at this point in the old town in Chur. Although it is not the same building, the Episcopal Palace still forms the core of the city today. Today the castle is the seat of the Chur diocesan bishop. In addition to some historical features, the oldest cookbook in Switzerland is said to have been written in the castle. It was created there at the end of the 16th century: chur.ch/haeuser/6054.
