The Chesa Planta was built in 1595 by the von Salis family as a stately patrician house and extended to a semi-detached house in 1760. The building is an impressive example of an Engadin aristocratic house. Today, the Chesa Planta houses the Upper Engadin Cultural Archive, which bears witness to the rich cultural history of the Upper Engadin with an impressive number of photographs, books, plans, herbarium specimens and art. In the Chesa Planta, visitors can also experience the domestic culture of the 18th and 19th centuries. A Rhaeto-Romanic library is also housed in the building.
