Vufflens Castle, Medieval castle in Vufflens-le-Château, Switzerland
The castle features a central tower reaching 60 meters high, surrounded by four square towers and connected to a smaller residential structure by walls.
The first mention of a fortress on the hill overlooking Lake Geneva dates back to 1108, with the current structure built in 1395 by Henri de Colombier.
The castle holds the designation of class A Swiss cultural property of national significance, representing medieval defensive architecture in the Canton of Vaud.
The castle remains a private residence owned by the de Saussure family, who also manage the surrounding vineyards and limit public access to the property.
The castle construction combines red brick materials with strategic defensive elements, creating a distinct silhouette visible across the Lake Geneva region.
