Excerpt from Wikipedia
Saint-Maurice Castle is a castle in the municipality of Saint-Maurice of the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
History
In 1476, Bern began construction of a castle in the narrow Rhone valley at Saint-Maurice. It was completed in 1646 with the expansion of the residential buildings. However, in 1693 a devastating fire in the town, destroyed the warehouse of the castle and much of the gunpowder that was stored there.
