HFF 1xPiP
One of the wrought-iron entrance gates to the Stockalper Palace in Brig
Kaspar Stockalper was an early capitalist in the 17th century. The Stockalperpalast bears witness to his immense wealth. Stockalper traded everything, mercenaries, snails, salt and ores. He bought and sold everything that promised profit. No private person in Switzerland could have had a larger palace built in the 17th century. But envy, as legend has it, was the oldest Valaisan, so the Valaisians drove the rich and powerful Stockalper into exile in Domodossola in 1679. His fortune was divided up ,impoverished and embittered he was allowed to return to Brig and die in his palace.
HFF i wish you all a richly filled not too poor weekend, have a healthy good time
