The so-called "upper Turilji" (upper tower) is a historic building dating back to the 1608th The strange thing about this house, with its idyllic garden is: It exudes an improbable peace. They make you feel like transported to another time.
The 'Turilji' is a stone building, whose stately character distinctive difference of the wooden houses of the village. It was restored in 2002 with support of the Canton (office for care of monuments and archeology) and was placed at the same time as a monument of national importance under protection. It is classified as a 'Historic Baute'. It has rare wall paintings and baroque beam type on (a feature in Upper Valais).
