St. Francis Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Place St-François, located at the entrance to a pedestrian zone, is dominated by the church of the same name, the only remnant of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery that housed a Protestant community from the 16th century. The church features beautiful, modern stained-glass windows by Cingria, Haeton, and Bieler.

Lausanne Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The current town hall was built on the Place de la Palud between 1673 and 1675 by the architect Abraham de Crousaz1, based on plans drawn by Pierre Rebeur2. While the upper floors of the building housed the municipal authorities and archives from their commissioning onwards3, the ground floor, for its part, successively housed the market and the grain hall, then the town's fire brigade equipment from the 18th century onwards, before being transformed into an exhibition space of 225 m2 from 19534.

The building is topped by a belfry whose bells were used in case of danger. It overlooks the roof which, by its shape, is reminiscent of traditional farms in the region5. The entire building is listed as a Swiss cultural property of national importance

Fountain of Justice, Place de la Palud, Lausanne

Highlight • Monument

Fountain, place de la Palud – Lausanne
Fountain, place de la Palud
The column and statue were created in 1584-85 by Laurent Perroud of Neuchâtel and his son Jacques, the former having died before its completion. Laurent Perroud built several fountains throughout western Switzerland. He has notably depicted the judiciary in Neuchâtel, Soleure and Moudon. The fountain in Lausanne depicts the typical blindfolded young woman carrying a sword and scales. The Pope, the Emperor, the Grand Turk and a magistrate bow submissively at her feet.
The ornamental central stack features a circular base with sculpted archways surmounted by a ribbed column decorated with acanthus leaves, city coats of arms and a garland held by four muffles. A capital decorated with acanthus leaves and volutes crowns the column.
The stack and the column are copies created in 1930; the originals are in the Lausanne History Museum. The magnificent spouts date from 1557-59 and the twelve-sided basin was built in 1726.

Port of Ouchy, Lausanne

Highlight • Settlement

The Quai des Savoyards in Lausanne is a beautiful promenade along Lake Geneva. It is a picturesque place where you can walk, relax and enjoy the view of the lake and the Alps. The promenade connects the old port area with the Tour Haldimand, a historic tower that once stood on an island, similar to the Château d'Ouchy from the 12th century. Along the Quai des Savoyards you will also find several large parks, including the Parc du Denantou, with lush lawns and centuries-old trees.
