Kies je ervaring
De uitzichten langs het Meer van Genève zijn al onovertroffen, maar voeg daar een kasteel bij dat perfect in een sprookje past, en je hebt iets echt bijzonders. Kasteel Chillon is de kers op de taart van dit deel van de natuurlijke schoonheid van Zwitserland. Hoewel de locatie al bewoond werd sinds de Bronstijd, heeft het kasteel zoals we het vandaag kennen zijn wortels in de 12e eeuw met de Graven van Savoye, en is het door de handen van verschillende adel geleden, met de Bernese periode die duurde van de 16e-18e eeuw en de Vaudoise periode die nog steeds aan de gang is. Tijdens je bezoek kun je genieten van ongeveer 300 voorwerpen die tentoongesteld zijn! Met uitzondering van het meubilair, de wapens en de harnassen, zijn alle voorwerpen die hier tentoongesteld worden gevonden tijdens de archeologische opgravingen die plaatsvonden in het kasteel van 1896 tot 1903.
