  • Valendas, Graubünden
  • Türalihus, located in Valendas, stands out with its southern façade, flanked by a tower, reflecting the region's prosperous past. The house, built in the style of wealthy families, showcases baroque ornaments in the Salons and highlights the influence of European ruling classes.
