The medieval town of Chiusa is also
known as “Dürerstädtchen,” or the city
of Dürer.
In 1494, the famous artist Albrecht Dürer
climbed the slopes of the Tschanberg
mountain above the town and there,
intoxicated by the magnificent
landscape, he made a drawing of the
town of Chiusa.
Unfortunately, this work of art was lost -
but at the place where the artist stayed,
the Dürerstein stone stands in
remembrance.
