About
Mulin Sura, "Upper Mill" in Romansh, is situated in the region of Surselva in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The property houses a mill, built around 1600, a house on top of the mill, a barn, a BBQ hut, and the former bakery (now a garage). It's nestled in a gorge surrounded by woods and bordered by the creek of Schluein.
This blog documents the exciting changes and additions to the house, such as renovations and the potential revival of the mill wheel and a beautiful flow of water from the creek, and it will also keep everyone updated on our various animals, our lovely children, and their children as our family grows. It will also publish poems and odes to the wild creatures and foliage that flourish all around us. However, if you want more frequent updates, photos and poetry, please visit the Instagram profile @mulinsura.
History of Mulin Sura
1298 • The village of Sluwen was first mentioned.
circa 1500-1803 • The name Schluein was first mentioned in 1321. From the Middle Ages until 1803, it was under the rule of Löwenberg. The church of St. Peter and Paul are represented in the coat of arms. Only a few remnants of the castle still remain on the hill above the village and in the wall leading up to it. It was completely rebuilt after a fire destroyed it in 1886.
circa 1600 • Mulin Sura (Upper Mill), which belonged to the castle Löwenberg, ground barley and millet. The larger mill, which no longer exists, ground grain and stood below the village's main road.
