Guided tour of the Stockalper Castle
Join the official guided tour of Stockalper Castle and learn more about the building and its history.
The one-hour tour takes you from the Arcaded Courtyard to the small inner courtyard of the Old Stockalper House. Inside the building, you’ll find the magnificent Three Kings Hall and the castle chapel. The tour continues across the delicate arcaded bridge into Stockalper’s 17th-century Baroque castle, passing through the courtroom, the Citizens’ Hall, and the festive Knights’ Hall.
