Description

The Stockalper Castle in Brig is not only a regional landmark, but also the most powerful Baroque secular building in Switzerland today. Visit the unique Stockalper Castle on a guided tour and let yourself be taken back to historic times. The one-hour tour takes you from the large arcaded courtyard to the small inner courtyard of the Old Stockalper House. Inside the building, the magnificent Dreiköngissaal (Three Kings' Hall), decorated with rare 19th century panorama wallpaper, and the castle chapel with its precious silver altar await you. The tour continues over the graceful arcade bridge into Stockalper's 17th-century baroque castle building, through the courtroom, the Burgersaal and the festive Rittersaal. From the Knights' Hall you have an impressive view of the extensive, historic gardens.
