Facts and practical information

Chur Cathedral, otherwise the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, is the Catholic cathedral of the diocese of Chur in Switzerland. The episcopal palace of the bishop of Chur is beside the church. The cathedral claims the relics of St Lucius of Britain, said to have been martyred nearby in the late 2nd century.
