Grand Council building (Chur)
The Grand Council building is the building in the Grisons canton capital Chur , in which the meetings of the Grand Council , the parliamentary legislature of Graubünden, take place. It is located north of the old town in the immediate vicinity of the Chur Theater .
Originally, it was a uniform building, built between 1861 and 1863 by the architect Johannes Ludwig in the neo-renaissance style, which was used as an armory . In 1959 the architect Martin Risch separated the building into a theater and parliament.
In 2008/09, the architect Valerio Olgiati redesigned the entrance area for an estimated 670,000 Swiss francs. This was widely discussed in public and was accompanied by construction delays and legal disputes.
