Intro
The museum at the castle is housed in the old vicarage of Raron next to the castle church.
The museum at the castle is housed in the old vicarage of Raron next to the castle church. Starting with important personalities who had a connection with Raron, the museum spans the arc from local to regional and supra-regional history. The gravesite of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is located in the cemetery of the castle church. Rilke's relationship to the Valais landscape is the subject of a brightly lit room. Right next to it is the work of the painter and book illustrator Melchior Lechter (1865-1835). The mercenary captain, entrepreneur and politician Christian Gattlen (1777-1866) and State Councillor Leo Luzian von Roten (1824-1898), the author of the Valais anthem, deal with Valais history in a time of upheaval. In contrast, Iris von Roten (1917-1990) stands for an important chapter of 20th century Swiss history, the political and social equality between men and women, with her book "Frauen im Laufgitter" (Women in the playpen).
