Stockalper Palace

Built between 1658 and 1678 by silk merchant Kaspar Stockalper, Stockalper Palace in Brig-Glis, Switzerland, stands as a national heritage site. The monumental building, once the largest private construction in Switzerland, reflects Kaspar's extensive trade empire. The rectangular palace features three towers, a spacious courtyard, and Italian Renaissance-style arcades. Today, it hosts the city council, a museum, and guided tours, preserving its historical charm.
