修道院及教堂 in 瓦萊州 Valais

The Abbey of Saint Maurice in Valais was built 1500 years ago as a place to honor martyrs. The pilgrimage destination was once the spiritual center of the Burgundy Empire and today houses one of the richest ecclesiastical treasures in Europe.

16世紀，建築師烏爾裏希·拉夫內爾（Ulrich Ruffiner）在拉龍上方的岩石上建造了聖羅馬諾（St. Romanus）要塞教堂。大約500年後，拉龍人民又開放了洞穴狀的聖米歇爾教堂。兩座教堂以及詩人裏爾克墓成爲這個瓦萊州社區最引人注目的景點。
