Housed in a castle dating from the 11th, 13th and 15th centuries - owned by the same family until 1948, and restored between 1988 and 2000 - the museum retraces certain pages of regional history. The collections present a range of objects gathered by a patrician family over the generations, bearing witness to the local art of living from the 16th to the 20th century. Highlights include furniture, mainly of French and Bernese origin, a collection of silverware, porcelain, clocks and curios, and stained-glass windows (13th-15th c.). The "Maison des Artistes" gallery features works donated to the last chatelaine, Hélène de Mandrot, by her guests Le Corbusier, Schlemmer, von der Mühll and others between 1922 and 1948. There is also a collection of works by Swiss painters in Rome (19th c.). The Jaquemart chapel features a cenotaph of François I de La Sarraz (1363).
