Built in 1912, the Langwies Viaduct is a reinforced-concrete bridge with a span of 284 m. Taking the train across the viaduct is an impressive experience. The Langwies Viaduct Museum occupies several historically significant rooms near the railway station and brings the history of the Langwies Viaduct to life for locals and visitors.
Those who choose Langwies as a travel destination may want to rent a holiday apartment there.
Culture and History
The Reformed Church in Langwies was founded in 1384; the tower and the walls of the nave date from that period. The Kulturhuus Schanfigg is housed in the former schoolhouse in Langwies and serves as a cultural meeting place for locals and visitors. It houses the Schanfigg Cultural Archive, the Raetica Library of the von Sprecher family from Jenins, as well as a swap library for children and families.
