Raymontpierre Castle

Raymontpierre Castle, also known as Remontstein in German, is a castle in the municipality of Vermes of the Canton of Jura in Switzerland.

Raymontpierre Castle

The castle is situated on a spur on the north slope of Mont Raimeux. The castle was built around 1594/96 by Georges Hugué de Raymontpierre, the châtelain of Delémont. His father had received the land as a fief from the Bishop of Basel in 1576. Between 1623 and 1809 it was owned by the Staal family, a noble family from Solothurn. The fortified mansion was eventually converted into a farmhouse. The Buehrle family bought it in 1941 and restored it in 1949.[1]
