Castle Crap da Sass at Lake Silvaplana.
The neo-Romantic castle residence on the shores of Lake Silvaplana was built in 1906 by the German general Count von der Lippe. It is one of the most important examples of late historical architecture in Graubünden. The castle is privately owned and is not open to the public.

Nature created a row of black stars on the frozen Lake Sils with a diameter of up to 3 meters.
