Tuor Planta / Plant Tower, Susch
Around 1570, the Graubünden chronicler Ulrich Campell mentioned three other medieval residential towers in Susch, two of which have survived: the Tuor Planta and the Tuor la Praschun; the Rosler Tower across the river is gone.
There are no written documents about the construction of the tower; it was probably built in the 13th century. It could have been the residence of the Lords of Susch, who are mentioned in 1283 with Conradus and Albrandus, the sons of a "dominus Albertus de Soxio". The family was in the service of the bishop of Chur.
At the beginning of the 16th century, a branch of the widespread Engadin noble family von Planta settled in Susch and from then on called themselves "Planta von Susch". Around 1520, a knight Heinrich Planta lived in the tower as episcopal governor. The Reformed clergyman and educator Martin Planta was born here in 1727. After several changes of ownership after 1926, the tower is now back in the hands of the von Planta family.
