Leuk-Town Hall

Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - The distinctive corpus of the Town Hall tower with its pentagonal base is situated at the entrance to the town in the immediate vicinity of the bishop's castle.

Built in the 13th century, this tower served as the official residence of the representative of the provincial lord, the Bishop of Sion. During the Raron conflict in 1415, the original building was severely damaged. 
In 1541 the building was converted by Ulrich Ruffiner to become the town hall. The location and the size of the building emphasize its claim to power.. The tower has been a listed building since 1934 and, together with the town hall in Sion, offers probably the most telling evidence of the self-assuredness of citizens in the canton of Valais. 

Today there are several rooms and halls available in Leuk-Town hall. These can be hired directly from the town of Leuk.
