Lukmanierpass

The discovery of a Roman coin treasure near Malvaglia indicates that the pass was already used at that time. It experienced its first heyday in the Franconian Empire, when the Disentis monastery was founded at the beginning of the 8th century. In 1374, the monastery built a hospice dedicated to St. Mary below the top of the pass. In 1964, the hospice and chapel had to make way for the reservoir. Both were rebuilt on the pass road. The new hospice was inaugurated on August 1, 1965.
