geography

Historic aerial photo by Werner Friedli from 1949

The Romansh-speaking ( Sursilvan ) village is located 4 km east of Ilanz in the Vorderrhein Valley , a few kilometers from the well-known Flims - Laax - Falera holiday center and the entrance to the Rhine Gorge ( Ruinaulta ).

Since December 2016, a bridge for non- motorized traffic has been connecting Schluein with Castrisch on the southern side of the Vorderrhein.

history

The village was first mentioned as Sluwen in 1298 . From the Middle Ages to 1803, Schluein was under the rule of the von Löwenberg family. The village church of St. Peter and Paul is first mentioned in 1321. To the west of the village, the Löwenberg Castle stood on a hill , but only a few remains of it remain.

Mills

Mulin Sura

The Mulin Sura (upper mill) was located above the village . The little mill that was used to pound barley and millet still stands; the big grain mill, however, has disappeared. Faint traces have been preserved from the sewer lines. The Mulin sut (lower mill) was below the country road. A saw has been driven with an additional water wheel since the 19th century and was dismantled around 1950. During the Second World War, the Schluein mills were still in great use as part of the “ Plan Wahlen ”. After 1945 the traditional mills had to give way to the modern Neumühle von Ilanz.
