Morges Castle, Medieval castle in Morges, Switzerland
The castle stands on Lake Geneva's shores with four round corner towers and a square layout measuring 50 meters on each side.
Louis of Savoy commissioned the construction of Morges Castle in 1286 to establish military control over the newly established city and trade routes.
The castle functions as a museum complex, housing collections of military artifacts, artillery pieces, and exhibits about Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
Visitors can explore the castle's five museums from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during July and August until 6:00 PM.
The fortress contains Switzerland's only preserved medieval fortified kitchen, which later transformed into an observation platform after Bern's conquest.
