Living history

Nyon occupies one of the most favourable positions on Lake Geneva – which is why the Romans founded their first colony on Helvetian soil here.

The precious remains from Roman civilization in the region are on display in the Roman Museum, situated in the foundations of the ancient basilica. Not far away stands an impressive fortress, built in the 12th century and altered in the 16th. This now houses the History Museum, whose entertaining and visitor-friendly displays include an important collection of 18th-century porcelain from the celebrated Nyon factory. The chateau is superbly situated on a promontory overlooking the lake – to which the nearby Lake Geneva Museum is devoted, packed with interesting facts and finds.
