Schluein

Schluein (Romansh pronunciation: [ʃlwɛjn] ; Romansh: Schleuis) is a municipality in the Surselva Region in the Swiss canton of the Grisons. Schluein is first mentioned in 831 as Falerunae. In 1298 it was mentioned as Sluwen. Throughout the Middle Ages until the Act of Mediation, which ended the French controlled Helvetic Republic in 1803, Schluein was under the authority of the Herrschaft of the Löwenberg. The village church is first mentioned in 1321. Schluein has an area, as of 2006, of 4.8 km (1.9 sq mi). Of this area, 29.9% is used for agricultural purposes, while 55.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 7.1% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (7.3%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains). Before 2017, the municipality was located in the Ilanz sub-district of the Surselva district on the left flank of the Gruob. It consists of the villages of Schluein, Casanova, and Fallerin.
