Since 1986, the Maison de Courten has been home to the Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation, dedicated to the Austrian writer who lived there between 1921 and 1926. The foundation maintains a permanent exhibition of letters, manuscripts, books, photos, and paintings related to the Tour de Muzot in Veyras.
The Courten Cellars now serve as a multipurpose cultural venue, hosting a wide variety of artistic events: exhibitions, readings, concerts, theatrical performances, and other forms of contemporary creation.
They embody a living crossroads between historical heritage and contemporary creativity, offering Sierre a unique space dedicated to culture, encounters, and artistic expression.
