    Tips

    The village's history is rooted in its castle, mentioned as early as the 11th century.

    Thanks to its fortified position, Joch was recognized for six centuries as the capital of the "Barony," a territory occupying the entire plain.

    Today, only ruins remain of the castle. Only two medieval gates are still visible to the north and west, and the remains of the old chapel have been converted into a house.


    The church, dating from 1776, and its listed altarpieces enrich Joch's heritage, as does the 17th-century painted ceiling, uncovered in the former presbytery during its restoration. In addition to the built heritage, there is also the vernacular, which bears witness to an entire ancestral way of life.
