The Château de Saint-Maurice, also known as the “Castle of the Governors”, is located at the entrance to Saint-Maurice in the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. This impressive castle is built on the Saint-Maurice Gorge, a location bordered by a steep escarpment on one side and the Rhone River on the other. The castle has a rich history and once played an important role in military and judicial affairs.

Clinging to the mountain above the Rhône, the Château de Saint-Maurice (15th-17th century) has been a venue since 2005 for major temporary exhibitions for all audiences around the theme of drawing, press cartoons and comic. It also presents a permanent exhibition on its history, access to which is commonly available through the temporary exhibition. It is one of the highlights of the exhibition of drawn narration in French-speaking Switzerland.

As if watching over the Rhone, the Castle of St. Maurice stands at the foot of one of the last mountains just before the Rhone flows into Lake Geneva. The 15th-century castle has enjoyed various uses over time, temporarily destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt and now houses an exhibition of press drawings and comics. Directly above the castle in the mountainside is the Grotte aux Fees, the fairy cave. It has been developed for tourism and is open to visitors. However, it can only be reached via a hiking trail or a cable car a few 100 meters north of the Château de Saint-Maurice.
