Casino de Saxon, Historic casino in Saxon, Switzerland

Casino de Saxon is a building in a Swiss village that contains multiple event spaces and a hall dedicated to theater and concert performances. The structure accommodates various types of shows and entertainments within its walls.

The building was founded in 1855 and quickly became a known gathering place for wealthy visitors from across Europe during its time as a gambling establishment. This chapter ended around 1877, after which the purpose of the place changed.

The venue functions as the cultural heart of Saxon, drawing people to theater and music performances throughout the year. Its regular programming shapes how residents and visitors experience entertainment in this small village.

The building is easy to access and offers good facilities for visitors who want to attend performances or events. The village itself is small, making it straightforward to find your way around and get information on-site.

The Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky visited the casino in 1867 and lost everything he carried, including his wedding ring. This visit left a lasting impression on the writer and is reflected in his literary work.
