Zamek Chillon

Chillon Castle is one of the most visited medieval castles in Europe, picturesquely located on a rocky island on the shore of Lake Geneva.

This fascinating 10th century fortress impresses with 25 buildings, three courtyards and chambers decorated with 14th century paintings. The castle was a source of inspiration for many Romantic writers, including Lord Byron.

As you explore the site, you'll learn about its millennia-old history, see the medieval dungeons where François de Bonivard was imprisoned, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Alps and the lake.
