Tips from the Community

Targi
April 29, 2026, Ruines du château du Vorbourg

The Vorbourg ruin towers above Delémont and offers an impressive view of the valley. The medieval castle was probably built in the 12th century and later abandoned. Today, remnants of walls and parts of the complex are still preserved. The site exudes a special, almost mystical atmosphere. Easily accessible via hiking trails, the ruin is a popular destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. In combination with the nearby Vorbourg chapel, it makes for a rewarding excursion in the Jura.

The view from the top of the valley is breathtaking, and you can see far and wide. Just the right amount of time before the descent to Delémont.

According to the documents of the time, they were called the lower castle and the upper castle of Telsperg. It was only well after their abandonment that they took the name of Vorbourg from the now-defunct hamlet. They were inhabited by the knights of Telsperg, a family of minor feudal nobility, who later took over various responsibilities on behalf of the Bishop of Basel. The first mention of a castle only appears in a document from 1234. But from 1131, several knights of Telsperg are cited, mainly as witnesses. Located on the southwest ridge of the Soyhères pass, two buildings rose 150 to 200 meters above the Birs to monitor the passage of travelers.

There you will find a fantastic observation board which accompanies this magnificent view of Delémont and beyond.

This medieval castle was built in the 11th century by the knights of Telsperg, overlooking the Birse valley and offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. You can also admire the chapel of Notre-Dame du Vorbourg, which dates from the 14th century and which is still a very popular place of pilgrimage. The hike to the ruins is about 4 km and takes about an hour and a half.

The point is not suitable for children as it is located directly on an unsecured rock cliff. But not a problem for young adults.
