Count de Renesse had the church built in 1884 according to the design of the famous Belgian architect Jules Rauh.
Construction began on June 16, 1884 and by September 16 of the same year the church had already been completed. Countess de Renesse then gave it to the Kursaal Hotel. It was then given to the Anglican community and in 1967 became the Catholic church of Maloja. When the new church of Maloja was inaugurated, the old church of San Gaudenz - as it was officially called - was deconsecrated.
It is now called Chiesa Bianca. It was restored thanks to a private initiative and is now a meeting place that hosts a variety of performances: concerts, book presentations, parties and celebrations. In the pretty little church were also celebrated weddings and baptisms. Next to the church is installed in summer a chessboard and every game, played here, in the middle of the enchanting landscape, is a wonderful pleasure.

After 1906, a small barn in the heart of Stampa was converted into Giovanni Giacometti’s studio. In this room, his children as well as his wife Annetta often posed as models for the painter. After Giovanni’s death in 1933, his famous son, Alberto, used the small atelier. He regularly visited his home-valley and his mother during the summer months. Even today, you can still see traces of the two artists in the room.

Il Bed and Breakfast Pontisella a Stampa ha iniziato la sua attività durante l’estate 2018. Le stanze di una vecchia casa patriziale della Bregaglia sono state rinfrescate, rivitalizzate con nuove idee architettoniche e arredate con interessanti pezzi di design.
Come centro culturale la casa Pontisella insegue la filosofia dell’uso responsabile delle risorse e la responsabilità sociale ed ecologica, valori molto importanti. Fedeli a questo pensiero essi richiamano l’attenzione all’artigianato e alle specialità culinarie della Val Bregaglia.

From the summit you can enjoy a breathtaking 360 ° view. Despite its medieval appearence the building dates back to 1882. The castle was built as a personal residence by the eccentric Belgian Count Camille de Renesse who at the end of the nineteenth century dreamed of transforming Maloja into a popular tourist destination for wealthy aristocrats. The tower and the adjacent hotel, however, were only completed after the count's death, at the beginning of the twentieth century.In 1953 the castle was bought by the Federal Nature Conservation Society. The hotel is now in ruins, while the tower has become the emblem of Maloja.
In the summer, the Belvedere Tower has several exhibitions and you can visit the permanent Pro Natura exhibition entitled, "The history of the Maloja landscape: geology, flora and fauna."
There have been 36 glacial mills discovered in the the nature reserve that surrounds the tower.
