It’s no surprise that Chillon Castle is one of the most visited monuments in Switzerland. The architecture is so beautiful it takes you breath away, and the location between the mountains and the lake is absolutely magical!
Visiting Chillon Castle is like stepping back in time. Each room reveals yet another part of its history, as well as the daily life and habits of the court of the House of Savoy and of the Bernese Bailiffs.
Discover the 14th century murals in the Duke of Savoy’s bedchamber and in the chapel, and see the large collection of wooden chests and furniture in all the rooms. The four great reception halls, where sumptuous banquets and feasting took place in the past, will plunge you right into the life in the Middle Ages. But never forget that Chillon is a fortress. It is protected by the lake but, facing the mountain, defensive towers and the sentry walk on the ramparts served to keep enemies at bay. Many weapons are on display.
Throughout the years, this thousand-year-old citadel has inspired the imagination of writers and artists, from Rousseau to Victor Hugo, from Delacroix to Courbet. Legends galore sprung up here, including the most famous one of Bonivard, rendered immortal in the poem by Lord Byron - The Prisoner of Chillon. Viewing the pillar in the underground dungeon where he was chained up is something not to be missed.

Very nice visiting Chillon castle once more under the lead of this audio guide. A lot of ingesting facts about most of the rooms visited. Would wish to have the possibility of drilling more into some aspects. Would have also liked to have more historic facts

When walking through the castle you may see a number on the wall indicating the audio guide has an entry. Ignore those signs if you are using this app as most of these entries will no be available for you. Spend the extra 4fr and get the audio guide at the castle instead.
