18th-century aristocratic Valais house.
Built in 1752 by Charles-Joseph de Rivaz, with a Bernese-style gabled facade with panelled cradle. Separately owned from the château, it is attached to the château on the east side.
Home to the elementary school (and a pharmacy) where the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary taught until 2008. It also houses the Musée des Traditions et des Barques du Léman on the first floor. On the east side, a large orchard once occupied the Place des Ouches.
Built by a private individual, it is a rare specimen of the fine buildings of the Valais aristocracy in the 18th century, once bordered by a courtyard on the north side, separated from that of the château by a high wall pierced by a porte cochère. The lintel of the main entrance door on the mountain side bears the coats of arms of the builder and his wife Nuçé.
Historic monument owned by the Bourgeoisie since 1837.
Every day throughout the year.
Closed Saturday and Sunday.
Free of charge.
