The village of Munster
Munster, the capital of Goms, is located 1388 meters above sea level. The name Munster 
is derived from " Monasterium “ ( Monistary ).The economical income is derived mostly from
agriculture, tourism and business. The church, built between the 12 th and 13 th century,
is the pride of Munster. The late gothic alter is dated back to 1590 and is one of the most
beautiful alters located in Switzerland. 
For centuries travellers stayed in Munster either before ascending over the alpine passes 
or after finishing their tiresome journey. During the time the mail was transported by coaches, 
Munster was the rest area for the horses.
