Casino de Saxon, Historic casino in Saxon, Switzerland
The casino building stands in Saxon village, featuring multiple entertainment spaces and a dedicated performance hall for theatrical productions and concerts.
In 1867, Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky visited the casino during its golden age and lost all his possessions, including his wedding ring.
The venue now serves as a cultural center, hosting regular theater performances and entertainment shows under the management of Paris-Saxon SA.
The casino building offers modern facilities for various events, with regular programming including matinee shows for children and evening performances.
The establishment transformed Saxon from a small village into an international destination between 1855 and 1877, during the peak of its gambling operations.
