Aigle Vineyards and Castle

Highlight • Castle

Aigle is located southeast of the city of Montreux on Lake Geneva, the city with the strong connection to Queens singer Freddy Mercury, who sang here our favorite sports equipment "Bicycle" and thus had a world hit.

Aigle is also strongly related to cycling. Because here is the headquarters of the International Cycling Union Union Cycliste Internationale, also known as UCI.

Aigle Castle

Highlight • Castle

The history of Aigle Castle still contains many gray areas. However, it is known that Aigle Castle, originally a fortified tower, was built at the end of the 12th century by the Knights of Aigle. From the 13th century, and again in the 14th century, various buildings and a wall surrounded this original Aigle Castle.

It was the Bernese, whose coat of arms still surmounts the entrance gate, who gave Aigle Castle its original appearance. They expanded the walls, built new buildings, and added apartments and administrative offices. Aigle Castle thus became not just a fortified castle but the prestigious residence of their representatives, the Governors of Aigle. Numerous painted decorations from the 16th and 17th centuries can be admired during a visit to Aigle Castle.

Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Saint-Maurice, located on the Rhône at the end of Lake Geneva, is tucked away at the foot of a looming rock face and is known for its rich past. The place, inhabited since classical antiquity, grew into a stronghold of Christianity at the end of the 3rd century AD. The abbey, the oldest monastery in the Avondland, which has been inhabited since the beginning of its existence, is now home to about forty Augustinians and a renowned school, with about a thousand students from all over French Switzerland.
