Blonay Castle, Medieval castle in Blonay, Switzerland.
The castle features a rectangular layout with two remaining towers, a Renaissance loggia from 1677, and a chapel with stained glass windows from 1577.
William II of Blonay constructed the castle in 1175, with evidence of an earlier fortified structure on the site dating back to 1095.
The castle remains the ancestral residence of the Blonay family, who maintained significant administrative roles under Savoy rule during the medieval period.
Located at 644 meters elevation in Canton Vaud, the castle belongs to the Blonay Foundation, which maintains this national heritage site.
French painter Gustave Courbet depicted the castle in 1875 during his exile in Switzerland, using the canvas to conceal another painting.
