St. Luzi, Chur

Chur, Switzerland

St. Luzi (Sankt Luzi), also known as Monastery of Saint Lucius or Monastic Church of St. Lucius, is a church and former Premonstratensian abbey in Chur, in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland. The early history of the church is poorly documented. The relics of its eponymous saint were stolen before 821. Around 800, the church appears to have housed a community of regulars who ran a school for clerics, and it may also have been home to the school of scribes of Carolingian Rhaetia.
