Ahorn von Trun, Historical maple tree in Trun, Switzerland

The sycamore maple stands next to Saint Anna Chapel in the Court of Honor, located above the railway station of Trun in Surselva region.

On March 16, 1424, representatives gathered under this maple tree to establish the Grey League, forming a significant political alliance in Swiss history.

The Court of Honor, established in 1701, features memorial plaques commemorating notable figures from the Grisons region near the maple tree location.

Visitors can view the preserved root structure of the original maple tree, which fell in 1870, at the Museum Sursilvan in Trun.

The current maple tree grows from a seed of the original 500-year-old tree, which measured 16 meters in circumference during its peak in 1750.
