Nyon Castle, Medieval castle in Nyon, Switzerland.
The stone castle stands near Lake Geneva with two distinct towers, multiple floors, and large windows overlooking the surrounding landscape and water.
Built in the 12th century by the Cossonay-Prangins family, the castle underwent major transformations under Savoy rule in 1360 with the addition of two lakeside towers.
The castle functions as a museum with exhibitions that present regional history, traditional crafts, and porcelain collections from various historical periods.
Visitors can explore the castle from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM during summer months, with reduced hours from November through March.
The castle grounds feature a square created in 1947 after the demolition of adjacent houses, revealing the complete view of the fortification.
