Aigle Castle, Medieval castle and wine museum in Aigle, Switzerland.

Located at the foot of Vaud Alps, Aigle Castle features four towers, thick stone walls, and accommodates exhibits about wine production techniques.

The castle's construction began in 1200 under the Barons of Aigle, who served as vassals to the Counts of Savoy along important mountain passes.

The Vine and Wine Museum within the castle presents 2000 years of viticulture through exhibits, artifacts, and educational displays about regional wine traditions.

Visitors can explore the castle, wine museum, and Maison de la Dime with a single admission ticket ranging from 5 to 13 Swiss francs.

From 1804 to 1972, this medieval fortress operated as a local courthouse and prison before its transformation into a cultural institution.
