In 1680 Nuot Clà Janett founded a printing company in Tschlin . He later moved this down into the valley to Strada, where it existed until 1880. Significant Romanesque literature was printed in the Stamparia . The house was the home of the printer families and the seat of the printing works. When the last resident of the Scharplatz printer family died in 1987 , the building and its inventory were transferred to a foundation that runs the museum.
