Description

Borgen Tourbillon er et biskoppeligt slot i ruin beliggende på en bakke i Sion, i kantonen Valais, Schweiz. Det står overfor Valère-slottet, som ligger på den modsatte bakke.

Dets byggeri går tilbage til slutningen af det 13. århundrede, under ledelse af biskop Boniface de Challant. Af defensiv karakter og beliggende på toppen af en klippefyldt og stejl bakke, fungerede bygningen som bopæl for biskopperne i Sion. Borgen Tourbillon er blevet betydeligt beskadiget af konflikter mellem biskopperne og det valaisanske folk. Den blev sat i brand i 1417 under en krig mellem Sions folk og Rarogne-familien, og blev derefter genopbygget af biskop Guillaume III de Rarogne cirka tredive år senere. I 1788 blev den helt ødelagt af endnu en brand. Stenene fra borgen Tourbillion blev brugt i et stykke tid til byggeri i regionen, inden ruinerne blev forstærket i det 19. århundrede for at gøre dem til et historisk monument.
