    Yverdon is an economic, administrative and cultural center in the northern part of the canton of Vaud with numerous cultural events. The castle of Yverdon, a castle of the Dukes of Savoy (13th and 19th centuries), was from 1805 to 1825 a school run by Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, now it is a museum. Since Roman times the sulphurous spas of Yverdon have been known.

    The town hall is located on the market square in the middle of the city center.
    Translated by
    Built by Peter of Savoy in the heart of the old town of Yverdon-les-Bains, the 13th-century castle was designed as a defensive structure and a manorial residence. Today the building houses the Historical Museum of Yverdon and Region, the Swiss Fashion Museum and the Pestalozzi Centre.
