Chillon Castle.
Welcome to over 1,000 years of history – in Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva.
There are good reasons for making Chillon Castle one of the most-visited buildings in Switzerland. The breathtaking architecture and its position nestling between the mountains and the lake give it a magical aura. Discover the audio-visual tour and the special exhibition on witchcraft in the Vaud region. From 25 August to 28 October 2012, the castle is hosting an exhibition in honour of Igor Markevitch, a renowned orchestra conductor and composer, as part of the “September Musical” (classical music festival in Montreux/Vevey).
