Schloss Chillon Montreux ist eine Station der “Grand Tour of Switzerland“

Touristisches Highlight: Schloss Chillon​

Auf einem Felsen am Ufer des Genfersees liegt das Schloss Chillon. Die Wasserburg ist das meistbesuchte historische Gebäude der Schweiz. Fast vier Jahrhunderte lang war Chillon Wohnsitz und ertragreiche Zollstation der Grafen von Savoyen.
Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel zwischen dem Genfersee und den steil aufragenden Bergen bewohnt. Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.-Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16. Jahrhundert gehörte Chillon den Grafen von Savoyen, dann eroberten die Berner die Wasserburg, danach die Waadtländer. Das Schloss kann auch gemietet werden und bietet eine beieindruckende Lokalität für diverse Anlässe. Montreux erreichen Sie leicht per Schiff, per Bus oder zu Fuss. Weiter entlang des Genfersees gelangen Sie auch nach Vevey und zur Statue von Charlie Chaplin, der hier wohnte und auch hier gestorben ist. Über 300'000 Besucher besichtigen pro Jahr Chillon mit den Wandmalereien aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, den unterirdischen Gewölben, Paradesälen und dem original erhaltenen Schlafzimmer aus der Zeit der Berner Herrschaft. Die gesamte Anlage besteht aus 25 Gebäuden und drei Höfen, die von zwei Ringmauern geschützt sind.
