Dorfführung Mühlebach

Mühlebach (1200 m above sea level) has around 80 inhabitants and has been part of Ernen since 2004. First mentioned in 1215, the village is named after its mills and is known as the birthplace of Cardinal Matthäus Schiner (around 1470-1522). In the 16th century, it provided the provincial governor several times. The townscape is characterized by a chapel from 1676 on a hill. There are numerous historic wooden buildings along the old Gommerweg, including heathen houses from the 14th-16th centuries. Thanks to the lack of disasters, Mühlebach has the oldest compact wooden village center in Switzerland. Significant buildings include the house from 1501, Schiner's birthplace (1435) and a Renaissance house from 1563. The granary and barn also bear witness to the building culture; the former mills have disappeared. | Meeting point: Mühlebach bus stop (Goms), bridge
