Very worth seeing castle complex on the north-east side of the town of Estavayer.

Around the middle of the 15th century. the castle was further strengthened under Savoyard rule before being conquered by Bern and Friborg in 1475 and from the 16th century. was used as a bailiff's seat (source: burgenwelt.org/schweiz/chenaux/object.php).

Very beautiful place where the political authorities of the region and the gendarmerie meet
