La Soie castle ruins, Medieval castle ruin in Savièse, Switzerland.
The stone walls and foundations of La Soie castle stand on a strategic hillside position, featuring three distinct sections separated by dry moats.
Built around 1200 by Bishop Landri de Mont, the castle served as a stronghold until 1417 when it burned during the Raron affair conflicts.
The castle ruins maintain their status as a Class B Swiss cultural property, representing the architectural and military methods of medieval Switzerland.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked walking trails that connect to the main tourist routes of Savièse municipality.
The castle's gateway remains intact within the outer section, which contains several preserved rooms from the original medieval structure.
