The former municipality is located on a terrace above the right bank of the Hinterrhein on the western slope of the Stätzerhorn . The place consists of the three parts Canova, Dusch and Pardisla. Of the entire former municipality area of ​​457 hectares, 259 hectares are covered by forest and wood. After all, 152 hectares can be used for agriculture. There are also 28 ha of settlement area and 18 ha of unproductive area (mostly mountains). In Paspels there is mainly cattle farming, arable farming, some fruit and wine growing.

history

Finds from the Neolithic and Roman times show that the area around Paspels was already populated at that time. Paspels was first mentioned in a document in 1237. At that time, Alt-Süns Castle was the center of the extensive property of the Barons of Vaz in Domleschg. Like Canova Castle (Neu-Süns), it was destroyed in 1451 during the shame feud . In 1527 Paspels bought himself free. The early medieval church fort of St. Lorenz , first mentioned in 1237, served on the right side of the valley as the mother church; the village church of St. Johannes Baptista dates from 1662.

At the end of the 16th century, only the hamlet of Dusch above the village converted to the Reformation. The local Catholic chapel St. Maria Magdalena belonged to the Churwalden monastery in 1508 . Around 1695 Johann Viktor von Travers , grandson of Pompejus Planta , had Paspels Castle built on the property inherited from his grandfather. The road was built in 1896–97. Thanks to the quiet and sunny residential area, there has been a lot of construction activity recently.

Until December 31, 2014, Paspels was a separate political municipality . On January 1, 2015, it merged with the municipalities of Almens , Pratval , Rodels and Tomils to form the new municipality of Domleschg .
