The White Lady of Porrentruy Castle
The legend “The White Lady of Porrentruy Castle” comes from the canton of Jura and is linked to the hike K9 JU Chevenez – Tour de Faux d’Enson.
The White Lady of Porrentruy Castle is the apparition of a castle commandant’s daughter from the 14th century who fell in love with a simple soldier and was imprisoned by her father in the highest tower, where she died of grief. Since then, she wanders in white garments over the ramparts and appears before great historical upheavals as a harbinger of war and suffering. She is not considered evil, but as a melancholic warning spirit who walks through the night with a burning candle and mournful songs.
