Old village part: San Spiert
Worth mentioning are the Chesa Aebli and the Chesa Rähmi. Both are beautiful Engadin houses decorated with sgraffito. Holiday apartments can also be rented in the houses. The Catholic Church of San Spiert and the Alpin Museum are in the same district.
In 1485, Johannes Maurizius Tempesta constructed a chapel in Pontresina to pray to the Holy Spirit, with Episcopal permission. It was only used for a short period and soon fell into oblivion. In 1941, remains of the former chapel were found in the basement rooms of the Haus Aebli, on the corner of Via Maistra and Via San Spiert. In the old village part "San Spiert", translated Holy Spirit, there are also some fine old, well preserved Engadin houses and the Catholic church San Spiert from 1923.
