Schloss Leuk

Leuk, Switzerland, Switzerland

Schloss Leuk is a medieval castle prominently overlooking the town of Leuk in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, originating from an early Romanesque tower built between the 11th and 13th centuries by the local noble Leuk family.

First documented in 1254, it served as a bishop's summer residence after restoration in 1475 under Bishop Supersaxo, hosted significant events like the 1507 peace treaty between Valais and Savoy, and was the site of 17th-century witch trials before modern renovations by architect Mario Botta transformed it into a cultural center.

Recognized as a Swiss heritage site of national significance, the restored fortress now features art exhibitions, events, and panoramic views, open seasonally for visitors amid the Rhone Valley landscape.
