Jost-Sigristen-Haus, Ernen
Martin Jost, Meier (government governor) and banner lord of the Zenden Goms, built the house on the Unterer Hen gert in 1581. The squared timber block stands on a base with a cellar and hall floor. In 1701, the builder added a brick extension to the eastern eaves side of the house. In 1772 - during the Rococo period - the interior of the house was renovated. The furnishings with paneled rooms and coffered ceilings are largely still preserved. The builder at the time was Jakob Valentin Sigristen, the last governor of the old Republic of Valais before the French invasion. Since 1995, the first residential floor of the house has housed a museum that focuses on the living culture and everyday life of Governor Jakob Valentin Sigristen († 1808). The museum was set up by the foundation and the association for local history museums and cultural preservation in Ernen with the support of the municipality of Ernen.
