Completed in 1914, this historic single-track railway bridge was a pioneering achievement in engineering as the world's first reinforced concrete bridge of its scale. Designed by architect Hermann Schürch, the structure spans the Plessur river and remains a significant landmark of early 20th-century railway construction.
The viaduct stands 62 meters high and extends 287 meters in length. It belongs to the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) network and is designated as a cultural asset of national importance. The bridge is a prominent feature of the railway line connecting the regional hubs of Chur and Arosa.
Historical context is provided by the Viadukt Museum Langwies, a cultural institution that hosts specialized exhibitions. These displays include miniature model railways and artistic photography focused on detailed installations of rail-related worlds.
