This building houses the Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation (entrance fee payable). This is where the poet and writer Rainer Maria Rilke lived. His poetic walks and the development of the Valais can be discovered in the permanent exhibition. The Haute École de musique (HEMU) regularly brings these vaulted cellars to life by organising concerts such as the Nuit du piano, which are much appreciated by the people of Sier.
