Cuort Ligia Grischa, Heritage museum in Trun, Switzerland.
Cuort Ligia Grischa is a local museum in Trun that displays objects, artworks, and exhibitions documenting the Surselva region across multiple periods. The collection spans several rooms, including a heraldic chamber with historical coats of arms and a section featuring detailed inlaid woodwork made from regional timber.
The building was constructed in 1679 by Disentis Abbey and originally served as the town hall for the Gray League confederation. The heraldic chamber with coats of arms dates to the 15th century and represents an earlier tradition incorporated into the structure.
The building displays works by local artists such as Alois Carigiet, reflecting how regional creators expressed their connection to the land and community. These pieces offer insight into the artistic traditions that shaped life in the Surselva valley.
The museum is open on selected weekdays with standard admission fees for adults and reduced rates for children. It is best to check opening times in advance and allow time to explore the different rooms and displays at a comfortable pace.
One section of the museum displays crafted woodwork with inlays made from different local timber species, showing remarkable artisanal detail. A redesigned garden added in 2018 provides an outdoor space that serves as a backdrop for community gatherings and events.
