Aubonne Castle, Medieval castle in Aubonne, Switzerland
The stone fortress stands on an elevated position overlooking the Aubonne ravine, featuring fortified walls and strategic defensive elements from medieval times.
Initially constructed before 1197, the castle underwent a transformation from a citadel to a fortified residence and remained in Jean-Baptiste Tavernier's possession until 1700.
The castle represents Swiss architectural evolution through centuries and maintains its status as a Class A cultural property of national significance in Switzerland.
The castle functions as a secondary school with multiple public rooms available for events, requiring advance reservations through official channels.
The castle underwent an extensive eight-year renovation project that concluded in 1988, adapting medieval architecture for modern educational purposes.
