Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation

The foundation honors the memory of the great European poet from Prague, who lived at the Chateau de Muzot, in Veyras from 1921 to 1926.

[1] Its goal is to promote the knowledge of Rainer Maria Rilke's works, through a museum, exhibitions, lectures, conferences, publications and a festival.

The famous poet spent the five last years of his life in the city, living in the Château de Muzot, a 13th-century fortified manor on the edge of town.

[1] Since 1987, the foundation installed the museum in the Maison de Courten, built in 1769, located at the rue du Bourg 30 in Sierre.

The program is made up of theater performances, readings, conferences, concerts, and dialogues between writers and readers.
