CitySoul iglüminescha la Clostra Son Jon, Müstair

On the new bypass road around the monastery St.Johann, Unesco World Heritage Site, is set on the elegant design language of the CitySoul luminaires with matching anthracite candelabra, which blends unagitated into the landscape.

Important for the Unesco Commission was, in addition to the elegant design language, especially the light color. Therefore, luminaires with 3000 K provide a pleasant light in the monastery environment. The PEM (Provedimaint electric Val Müstair) controls the luminaires with CityTouch to have only exactly as much light as necessary in the beautiful Val Müstair.

Sister Domenica tells what light means to her. The sisters from the Benedictine convent were allowed to choose the lights together with the municipality, the Unesco home protection and the Provedimaint electric Val Müstair PEM.

What does light mean to you?

Light is a very important issue for us. We live here, as long as we are on earth, yes actually only in the dark. We are looking for the light - which we call God. Light for us is not only material, it is more. For we are on the way to the light.

How can we think of it?

When we want to make light, we have a switch - that is the earthly light for us. Then there is the supernatural light. We don't see that, but it's always there. We believe it exists, and we call it God. Because light itself is limitless, it is the right term for what we have been searching for all our lives here in the monastery.

How do you like the new lighting around your home?

I have observed the new light from the window from above, we sisters are "go güxle". These are interesting lights, they give a nice wide glow. Especially because they are so high up, it doesn't bother you at all. You have the brightness, but still not too direct. For me, the light is important, because even as a child I was always a bit afraid in the dark.
