Chur

As Ticino was celebrating a bank holiday on Thursday 6th Jan and having to endure 2 "days of the dead" in a week (the other being Sunday) would be too much, so we got on a bus and went to Chur.

Chur is a village in the Turkmensky Distirct of Stravopol Krai, Russia. It has a population of 600.

There is also a Chur in canton Graubunden, Switzerland which is where we went. Chur has a population of 21000 and is at an altitide of 584m. Apparently skiing is popular in Chur but on the day we went, there was no snow and it was about 10 degrees.

Some impressions of the twee town of Chur



Frozen fountain.
It would be more appreciated in summer as Chur is the warmest town in Switzerland





Apparently this is the is the oldest detached house in Chur.
Not sure I understand the Swiss definition of "detached". 



We were very keen to see the cathedral.
This wasn't it....

Perfect symmetry...Almost.

Cathedral square

Font.... Well..... Or a place to put noisy children.



The Kuhn Organ was built in 2007 and looks excellent in this 900 year old building.
