Engadin Houses & Sgraffiti
Architecture and sgraffito art in the Engadine
The Engadine house, with its dense construction, is a defining feature of the historic village landscape of the Engadine. Due to past destruction during wars, the houses were built close together around central village squares with fountains for safety and defense. Typical of these solid stone buildings are deep window sills, bay windows, two entrance gates in the upper story (Sulèr), and an integrated stable.
A distinctive characteristic of these houses is the sgraffito art. This traditional craft originated in the mid-17th century and continues to adorn the facades of Engadine houses with intricate decorations.

The Engadine House
This house combines living quarters and farm buildings (stable, barn) under one roof. The farm section with the hayloft faces south; vertical wooden walls with ventilation slots prevent hay fires. Although the buildings appear like solid stone houses, they are fundamentally timber-framed. Their timber walls were only encased in a outer wall after drying, which explains the deep, funnel-shaped window recesses.
