The representative Jost-Sigristen House is an impressive log building made of larch wood with a brick extension in the historic village center of Ernen. The Jost-Sigristen Museum is housed on the second floor. A permanent exhibition shows how Governor Jakob Valentin Sigristen (1733-1808) lived and worked. He belonged to the Valais elite and held the most important offices. He had the house, built in 1581 and extended in 1598, renovated in 1772. Worth seeing are the painted ceiling, the paintings in the "Yellow Room" and three decorated Giltstein stoves. A special exhibition is held every summer.
