En un regard
Le château en bref
Delémont Castle, known as the Prince-Bishops' Castle, is a summer residence and administrative seat built from 1716 to 1721 for the Prince-Bishop of Basel, Jean-Conrad de Reinach-Hirtzbach, under the direction of the architect Pierre Racine. Designed without any defensive character, it is a Baroque palace built on the site of a former fortified house. Sold as national property after the Revolution, it was bought back by the town in 1821 and subsequently housed schools. Fully restored in 2000-2003, it now accommodates primary school classes and social and cultural activities.
