Switzerland
The Château de la Porte du Scex is a castle located at the Porte-du-Scex, a passage between a rock face and the Rhône to the north of Vouvry, in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, on main road 21 St-Maurice - St-Gingolph. It is a narrow passage squeezed between the foot of a ridge of the Prealps and the Rhône.
Established at the crossroads of the routes leading from Vouvry to Le Bouveret and to Chessel, and close to the Tonkin line, the castle houses a museum and exhibitions.
