history

It was not until the High Middle Ages that Rhaeto-Romans settled the place. The Chur cathedral chapter owned goods here around 1270 .

The Romanesque church of St. John , which was first mentioned in 1523, stands on a small, rocky hill . The church is surrounded by a walled cemetery. Inside there are well-preserved frescoes by an unknown Italian master who was influenced by Giotto .

The Reformation was implemented here in 1590 , and in 1620 it was separated from the Bergün mother church. In 1689 Stugl broke away from Latsch and ordered his own civil court until 1851. In the past it was exclusively a farming village, today only a few are active in agriculture.

The wooden station building in the Stugl / Stuls-Station district still shows its original condition when the Albula Railway opened in 1903.
