photogenic castle complex, which can also be visited

The wine museum in the castle is very well done. I recommend really good shoes for the hike.

A beautiful old village with nice little streets

A little bit of history

From the late 11th century onward, there is also evidence of a noble d'Aigle family, who built a castle here. Their property passed to the Lords of Saillon in the 13th century. The most important building in Aigle is Aigle Castle, located on the eastern edge of Le Cloître. Its origins are not precisely known. The castle was probably built by the Lords of Saillon at the beginning of the 13th century. It has a wall with three round towers and a battlement. The oldest part is the square keep, to which several turrets with machicolations were later added. The castle was set on fire by the Bernese in 1475. After its reconstruction in 1489, it became the seat of the governor or bailiff. From 1804 onward, the castle belonged to the municipality and served as a court, prison, and, in part, as a hospital. It underwent extensive restoration from 1971 to 1992. Today it houses two museums: the Musée de la vigne et du vin and the Musée de l'étiquette. Next to the castle stands the large tithe barn (Maison de la dîme), built in 1587 on the site of the former castle of the nobles of Aigle. Source: Wikipedia
