Maison de Courten

The cellars here host a variety of captivating events, from theatre and exhibitions to spellbinding readings.

Above all, this building has been home to the Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation since 1986. It houses a permanent exhibition of the writer's original letters, manuscripts, books, photos and paintings.

The Foundation is linked to the Muzot Tower in Veyras, which dates back to the 13th century and is closely linked to Rilke's presence in the Valais.
