Leuk and the Reformation

Description

Few people know that in Leuk during the 16th and 17th centuries, reformist forces fought unflinchingly against the secular power of the bishop: Leuk was, alongside Sitten, a central point of the Reformation in Valais and split the Catholic Oberwallis. Exciting stories about these times can be learned in Leuk city on the guided tour "Reformation in Leuk" by Leuk Tourism in collaboration with the guides from Leuk. One pastor was a father of eleven, another bequeathed his house to his two daughters: the 16th and 17th centuries turned things upside down in Leuk. The reformers from Valais aimed to break the power of the Bishop of Sitten and introduce the new faith. Which men were involved in Leuk? The guided tour "Reformation in Leuk" tells you about it. Today's tour is the premiere of this new format. Register with Leuk Tourism. The tour is free of charge.
