Intro
After having been a seigniory, princely residence, school and home, the château became a museum in 1998.
The Swiss National Museum's headquarters in the French-speaking part of Switzerland is located in a stately home dating from the 1730's. After having been a seigniory, a princely residence, a school and a home, the castle became a museum in 1998. With its vegetable garden, which is home to some one hundred ancient varieties of fruit and vegetables, and its 18th century interiors, it is a delightful destination for nature and culture enthusiasts. The exhibition "Noblesse oblige! Castle life in the 18th century" highlights the historical heritage of the castle. The reception rooms have been restored to their former glory and form a sumptuous setting. Three exhibitions offer a variety of visits: "The garden unveiled", an interpretation center of the vegetable garden; a "Panorama of Swiss history" which summarizes the national history, from the Helvetians to the present day; and "Switzerland on the move" which presents the history of the country from 1750 to 1920. Temporary exhibitions related to Swiss art, culture or current events.
