Château de Porrentruy
Porrentruy, Switzerland, Switzerland
Château de Porrentruy is a majestic castle complex towering over the old town of Porrentruy in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland, with construction spanning from the mid-13th century to the early 18th century.
The oldest feature, the 13th-century Réfous Tower, served as a key defensive element, while the site became the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Basel from 1524 to 1792 after their exile from the city during the Reformation.
Today, it functions as the headquarters of the Jura cantonal court, remains a Swiss heritage site of national significance, and offers visitors access to its courtyard, tower views, and historical remnants like ramparts and a deep well.
