Yverdon-les-Bains Castle, Medieval castle in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.
The castle features four towers connected by thick stone walls, standing at an elevation of 438 meters near Lake Neuchâtel.
Built in 1260 under Peter II of Savoy, the castle was designed by master architect James of Saint George, who later constructed fortifications in Wales.
The castle houses the regional museum of Yverdon, displaying collections that document the local history from prehistoric times to present day.
Visitors can access the castle's museum, theatre, and conference rooms through the main entrance located at Place Pestalozzi in central Yverdon-les-Bains.
The castle contains the oldest public library in French-speaking Switzerland, established in 1763 and maintained as part of the museum since 1830.
