In Burgusio, a hamlet of Malles Venosta, this imposing castle stands at an altitude of 1,200 meters and is located directly below the Monte Maria Abbey. It owes its name to the fact that, especially in the 18th century, it was the residence of the bishops of Chur, a Swiss municipality in the Canton of Grisons, who boasted a princely rank.
