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.
