Built by the architect Pierre Racine between 1716 and 1721 in the baroque style, the castle of Delémont was the summer residence of Prince-Bishop Jean-Conrad de Reinach. The castle was bought by the town in 1821. As a visitor, you do not have access to the entire castle, but you can enjoy the facades and the monumental staircase from the courtyard. The courtyard of honour was the place where the bishop took his oath of allegiance. From the car park on the Place Monsieur, you can access the gardens of the castle and its beautiful fountain on the south side.

Ancienne résidence des prince-évêques de Bâle
L’imposant édifice baroque, construit entre 1716 et 1721 par le prince-évêque Jean-Conrad de Reinach sous la direction du Jurassien Pierre Racine, occupe l'emplacement d'un manoir médiéval à l'angle sud-ouest de la vieille ville (à côté du Musée Jurassien). A l’intérieur, il comporte un escalier monumental. Vendu comme bien national après l'annexion de l'Evêché de Bâle par la France révolutionnaire, le Château a été racheté par la Ville en 1821. Depuis le 19e siècle, l'ancienne résidence princière sert de bâtiment scolaire. L’intérieur ne se visite pas. Par contre, on peut admirer à l’extérieur, côté nord, le portail en fer forgé flanqué de deux corps de garde et côté sud, les jardins du Château réaménagés il y a quelques années.
