Malans at a Glance
The municipality of Malans lies above the confluence of the Landquart and Rhine rivers. Together with the town of Maienfeld and the wine-growing villages of Jenins and Fläsch, it belongs to the Bündner Herrschaft region, which, due to its favorable climate, is also known as the "Garden of Graubünden."

Two village fires in quick succession during the 17th century were decisive for the development of Malans. The reconstruction of the destroyed parts of the village was completed relatively quickly. Numerous stately patrician houses from this era still stand, particularly in the village center. Besides these patrician houses, the village impresses with its star-shaped layout of densely built streets around the center and with its large vineyards that extend right into the heart of the village. Also characteristic of this wine village are the massive walls along the streets, which wind their way through the vineyards to the village. This interweaving of buildings and vineyards, orchards, and enclosed gardens creates a unique rural idyll.

In the upper part of Malans lies the Baroque Bothmar Castle complex with its spacious, multi-sectioned garden, accessible from the village via the hamlet of Im Bodmer. The core of the complex dates back to the first half of the 16th century, while its current form is the result of expansions in the early 18th century. It is important to note that the castle complex is not open to the public.

Malans is a charming wine-growing village whose centre and castle are recognised as Swiss cultural assets of national importance. A beautiful place to stroll between vineyards and heritage.
