About Lohn GR
Lohn is a village on the Schamserberg, on a terrace on the east slope of Piz Beverin, and it was once the highest municipality in the Schams. Since 2021 it has been part of Muntogna da Schons, with Mathon, Casti-Wergenstein and Donat. The landmark is the reformed church with two towers, the first probably 12th-century and the bell tower added around 1500. The homes are spread across Lohn and the neighbouring terrace villages, mostly sleeping about six. Romansh in its Sutselvisch form is still spoken by a slim majority. Evenings are very quiet, and the PostBus line to Zillis is the link down to the valley.
