Late this freezing cold January Sunday afternoon we visited this magnificent 17th century castle in the very center of the old town of Brig, that previously was unknown to us. We were all by ourselves and could enjoy the sun progressively setting on the western facade of the castle with shadows of the naked trees being projected on the pale yellow color of the building. Our only regret was that we had not arranged for a visit to the interior but that will be a good project for a future visit.

I haven't been inside the castle and only been to the courtyard and outside park of palace. It is an impressive palace and courtyard. If you are in Brig and have 30-45 mins, take a short walk from Bahnof through the old town to the palace. It is totally worth your time. You can have a guided tour for which you will need more time. Hopefully next time, I will be able to do it.

Бриг потрясающий город. Ему невероятно повезло с расположением и потому практически на любой фотографии города можно заметить высочайшие горы. И конечно же его украшает прекрасный замок Штокальпер, расположенный недалеко от центра. Можно абсолютно бесплатно и свободно зайти как в сад, так и во внутренний двор замка и насладиться его великолепием. Я побывал там девятого марта, поэтому увы, в саду не было никаких ярких цветов, хотя подозреваю, что в марте они там появляются. И все же в сад тоже зайти стоит хотя бы ради фотографий замка и огромных гор на его фоне. Также советую пройти немного дальше замка, за монастырь и школу чтобы насладиться горами ещё больше. Если у вас есть 1-2 часа на то, чтобы погулять по Бригу, то обязательно это сделайте. Если есть больше времени, то попробуйте ещё и зайти в какой-то ресторан чтобы насладиться швейцарской кухней (хотя цены там... Швейцарские😅, тоесть совсем не низкие). А если есть часов пять, то воспользуйтесь возможностью подняться на фуникулёре хотя-бы до вершины Белальп чтобы насладиться городом и горами с высоты. Это правда того стоит.

Theres no entrance fee, you can just walk in the garden or the court of the palace. Its clean and was preserved well. If you want to get inside the palace and do the passage tour, you need to make an appointment and pay the fee. I just saw the tour on the flyer but theres no place to buy it in the castle area, probably you need to bookit online or inthe hotel .

Nice Palace, but without a guide, you can't explore the interior at all. My bf and I ended up sitting out in the gardens feeding sparrows for an hour (which was lovely). Admission is free.

The castle's history, from its construction to the present day, is very interesting. The castle garden invites you to linger. I think it must be particularly beautiful in spring and summer.
