A well maintained historic castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. This is a must see tourist site because of its significance and location. As you drive around the lake, you will absolutely not miss it.

Much of the castle is in good shape, and your are free to roam throughout the castle at your leisure. There are artisans demonstrating different products such as wine, cheese or meat. There are plenty of photo opportunities from many different angles.

Signage thoroughly explain the history behind the castle, and the ways it was used to defend itself from invaders. I found the archer's keyholes especially interesting.

You can also walk along the lakeside promenade to soak in the beautiful sceneries all around the castle and the lake. There's also a railroad tracks and station right outside the castle grounds.
