Scex Gate Castle

Passage near the Château de la porte du Scex, The architecture of the castle has changed over the centuries, but it still retains medieval elements, such as its thick walls, arched windows and turrets. A little moment of history ;)

In the execution cell, dangling from the rope, you have a great view of the lake for a short time

photogenic castle complex, which can also be visited

Between 1840 and 1846, a building on the Grand Place, on the banks of the lake, was transformed into one of the most important neo-Gothic buildings in Vaud and even a pioneering work for the whole of Switzerland. The Château de l'Aile stands on the site of the former Halles de Vevey which, by consonance, were the origin of the Aile, the sign of the inn belonging to this commercial building from 1545. The property was sold by the municipality to Adam Chastelain in 1680. The building was then rebuilt as a turreted pleasure castle - with a wider tower on the axis of the north facade.

The Château de Chillon is located on the shores of Lake Geneva, near Montreux in Veytaux, Switzerland. This medieval and romantic castle is a precious historical jewel that has been enthroned on its rocky island for almost a millennium. The castle is located on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, in a picturesque spot between Montreux and Veytaux. It has become famous thanks to literary works such as “La Nouvelle Héloïse” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and “The Prisoner of Chillon” by Lord Byron. The castle dates back to the thirteenth century and is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe. In addition to its historical significance, the Château de Chillon also offers wonderful exhibitions, animations and events. You can also rent rooms for special occasions.

Quick restaurant opposite on the bike path

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