Palazzo Castelmur

Palazzo Castelmur is a historic mansion and museum in Stampa-Coltura, Bregaglia, Switzerland. The building combines a 1723 patrician mansion with a Lombard/Venetian Gothic facade added in 1854, featuring opulent interiors with wood paneling, wall paintings, and trompe-l'oeil decorations. The museum tells the story of the Castelmur family and hosts a permanent exhibition about the Grisons pastry makers, who traded across Europe after being expelled from Venice in 1766. The palazzo also hosts changing temporary exhibitions and cultural events.
