The Château de Saint-Maurice, also known as the “Castle of the Governors”, is located at the entrance to Saint-Maurice in the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. This impressive castle is built on the Saint-Maurice Gorge, a location bordered by a steep escarpment on one side and the Rhone River on the other. The castle has a rich history and once played an important role in military and judicial affairs.

Basilique Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Saint-Maurice, also known as the “Abbaye de Saint-Maurice d'Agaune”, is located in present-day Saint-Maurice de Valais in the canton of Valais.
The Abbey of Saint Mauritius was founded in 515 by King Sigismund and recognized by Charlemagne. It is the oldest abbey in the West that is still active. The canons who live here continue to practice perpetual prayers.
The abbey is located on a site that was once the Roman settlement of Agaunum in late Roman times and the early Middle Ages. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and has a special significance in the history of Christianity.
The abbey is home to a wealth of works of art and historical artefacts. The trésor (treasury) is worth a visit, as are the surrounding chapels. The abbey has more than 1,500 years of history and has played an important role in religious and cultural affairs over the centuries.

Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Saint-Maurice, located on the Rhône at the end of Lake Geneva, is tucked away at the foot of a looming rock face and is known for its rich past. The place, inhabited since classical antiquity, grew into a stronghold of Christianity at the end of the 3rd century AD. The abbey, the oldest monastery in the Avondland, which has been inhabited since the beginning of its existence, is now home to about forty Augustinians and a renowned school, with about a thousand students from all over French Switzerland.
