La Bâtiaz Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Martigny, Switzerland.
The stone fortress stands on a hill at 800 meters elevation, featuring a central tower that overlooks the Rhône Valley and surrounding vineyards.
Constructed between 1206 and 1237, the castle changed ownership multiple times between the House of Savoie and the bishops of Sion during medieval conflicts.
The castle maintains a collection of medieval torture instruments and serves traditional dishes influenced by medieval recipes during summer months.
Visitors can reach the castle through a 15-minute uphill walk from the parking area, following clearly marked signs along the path.
The castle's garderobes display architectural features that link them to Harlech Castle, indicating both structures shared the same architect, James of Saint George.
