Mercier Castle, originally called Pradegg Castle, stands magnificently and sophisticatedly on a hill in the town of Sierre (French: Sierre). For half a century, the castle served mainly as a summer residence for the Mercier family until its donation to the canton of Valais in 1991. Since then, as required by the conditions of the donation, the castle and the adjoining park are mainly used for public, cultural and artistic purposes.

It is not only a church but also a castle. A first sanctuary dedicated to St. John the Evangelist is mentioned as early as 1300; it is the chapel of the Castle which partially occupied the site of the choir and the sacristy, and of the current parish church. Masses are frequent and the church is active. Normally open for visiting during the day.

Château Mercier is a unique place combining architecture, culture and exceptional gardens. Ideally located on Pradegg hill in the heights of Sierre, Château Mercier was built between 1906 and 1908. The castle offers guided tours, activities and festivals. More information on the news is available on the website: chateaumercier.ch/FR/1/home
