Château de Prangins is beautifully renovated and houses an engaging, interactive museum about Switzerland’s history and culture. A standout feature is the annual Swiss Press Photo exhibition, which is always impressive. This year, 2024, they are hosting the World Press Photo exhibition, making it even more special. The entrance fee is CHF 13 for adults, and it’s absolutely worth it for the rich experience offered. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a photography lover, or just looking for a cultural outing, this is a fantastic place to visit!

Bit of a hidden gem....great views over the lake, walled garden to explore and cafe for that much needed coffee

Wonderful little chateau that is a National Museum that’s very child friendly. We went for a children’s party where the kids did a treasure hunt inside the chateau then ended it with free play in the wonderful gardens. There is a lovely cafe with a gorgeous terrace to enjoy a glass of wine or panaché while waiting for the children. I’ll write a separate review on the Cafe du Chateau. Another marvel to walk around is the Kitchen Garden. According to their website “Like the museum, the Kitchen Garden traces its roots back to the 18th century – the Age of Enlightenment – when expeditions and travellers bring countless new things and previously unknown plants back from all over the world.” Even just a stroll or siting on the benches to enjoy the garden is a wonderful thing to do on a sunny spring day. Highly recommend this chateau for families in Spring or Autumn.

I highly recommend here if you are looking for a half day activity with the family, espcially with small kids. You can both enjoy the musee and the tremendously beautiful view of the Lac and Mont Blanc. Moreover, you can have brunch or just coffee at the restaurant of the Chateau. The only things is that you can enjoy the cafe/reataurant during the season which is generally between March and November. Other than that if you are well dressed kids can run around in the garden and yard of the chateau, you walk around Nyon later etc.

Interesting exhibitions in a magnificent 18th century castle. The place is easy to find, the staff is warm and helpful. A memorable tour. Would definitely go back once the garden is in bloom.
