The chateau de Joux is an exceptional and unique monument, witness to 1,000 years of the history of fortification and an important memorial to the liberation of the people.
Aware of its qualities, the Grand Pontarlier District Council who owns and manages the site, has launched a programme to showcase the scientific, tourist and cultural value of this unusual historic monument. The programme will last 10 years, from 2020 to 2030 and will focus on two historical themes: the evolution of the fortress and the struggle for freedom. These themes will be integrated into the development of the site, the cultural and events programme, and the scientific policy.
