Selkingen: A Village in Valais
Selkingen is nestled in the beautiful canton of Valais. A canton is like a state or a large region within Switzerland, each with its own government. Valais is known for its stunning mountains and valleys.
Joining Forces: The Merger
On January 1, 2001, Selkingen joined with two other nearby villages, Biel and Ritzingen. They all merged together to form a new, larger municipality called Grafschaft. This means they now share one local government instead of having three separate ones. Merging can help small communities work together more efficiently and share resources.
