What a beautiful place and free of charge. Leaflets about the chateau and the gardens were provided. A little car park was also available. Noone was there when we visited so we had the opportunity to experience the chateau on our own

Had a private dinner here. It is absolutely beautiful. Filled with stories and authentic artifacts. The grounds are large and the peaceful surroundings is a treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed it

I would return at a different time of year. I think there should be a limit on numbers in the house at any one time.

Vufflens Castle

Vufflens castle was built in 1425 on the site of a previous medieval castle by Henri de Colombier. It is the most significant example of a small group of fortified Romandy castles from the middle ages, characterised above all by its brick construction. In 1530, it was set on fire by Bernese troops. In 1641 it was acquired by the de Senarclens family. The castle is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.

A pleasant 30 minute-walk through the vineyards between Vufflens-le-Château and Denens, offers a stunning view of this magnificent castle, the lake and the Mont-Blanc.
