Aubonne Castle is a medieval fortress located in the commune of Aubonne, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Built before 1197, it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. Perched on a hill, it overlooks the town and the Aubonne ravine, offering a beautiful panorama of the surrounding area and Lake Geneva. In addition to the castle, the town of Aubonne boasts a rich architectural heritage with its picturesque alleyways, terraced houses, and its Protestant church built in 1577 from the former Catholic church of Trévelin. Nearby, the Arboretum du Vallon de l'Aubonne houses a collection of over 3,000 species of trees and shrubs from around the world, while the Parc du Signal de Bougy offers leisure activities for the whole family.

In April and May, the Tulip Festival takes place in the Parc de l'Indépendance in Morges. Many beautiful beds with diverse varieties of tulips are planted there. Truly worth a visit and a short trip!

At the start of the 16th century, with the arrival of the Reformation and the Bernese, the former Catholic church became a Protestant church and then became disused. In 1548, it was bought by a certain Merlinge, a bourgeois from Lausanne. For two centuries, the property passed from owner to owner and the church became a habitation. Between 1772 and 1774, the then owner undertook major works which gave the building its present façade. The building witnessed a great lifestyle, and it was even thought that Napoléon Bonaparte inspected his troops nearby, before sending them to the Grand-St-Bernard, in May 1800. In 1918, Colonel Treytorrens de Loys, who taught Baron Pierre de Coubertin about Swiss institutions and the military system, sold the property. In 1960, the City bought the château and what remained of its grounds. The Expo 64 management team set up its headquarters there, followed by the European Research Centre. n 1968, with its 12 employees (!), the International Olympic Committee no longer had enough room at the Villa Mon-Repos. The city council graciously offered the IOC the Château de Vidy. A lease was signed on 1 July 1972 “for one Olympiad”, with tacit renewal. The IOC is still the guest of Vidy. Since then, two annexes have been built, and soon there will be another new building with meeting rooms and a restaurant. With its 163 staff members in Vidy, the IOC deserves it!

You'll find a nice view just under it, it looks really like a castle you would find in disney movies or cartoons with a princess to be saved.
