The wonderful castle in Yverdon can be reached in just 5 minutes on foot from the train station. You can quickly see the four large corner towers. There is a good audioquide (E/D) in the castle. This also serves as a local museum for the municipality of Yverdon and also as a museum for Pestallozi

Very interesting collection. From ancient time till industrial factories in the region. All information is in french, but they have audio guide in english. This place is not advisable for people with mobility issues. Lots of stairs to go up and down. The ticket for adults costs 10CHF.

A great museum and public place. The Castle is in a state of constant renovation and struggles to find a balance between its defensive origins and the later renovations made by the Bernese occupant. Overall a wonderful historical monument on Yverdon's main square.

Le château a d'abord été habité par les seigneurs savoyards. Il se composait alors d'une grande tour circulaire bâtie, vers 1235[2], par Amédée III de Montfaucon-Montbéliard, sire d'Orbe. En 1260, Amédée III, vend Yverdon à Pierre II de Savoie, et ordonne à ses vassaux de faire hommage à ce comte. Cette vente, apparemment peu volontaire, semble être le prélude de la conquête du Pays de Vaud[3].

Le château de plan quadrangulaire a été construit de 1258 à 1265[4] par les maçons Jean et Jacques de Saint-Georges, père et fils, sur ordre du comte Pierre II de Savoie, pour protéger la ville.

En 1298, le dimanche après la saint Mathieu, par un acte daté de Mont-Bonnot : « Béatrice de Faucigny, fille de Pierre II de Savoie, du consentement de son mari le Dauphin Guigues VII de Viennois (Humbert d'Albon), restitue à son très-bien-aimé cousin, Jean Ier de Montfaucon, fils d'Amey (Amédée), le château d'Yverdon, la ville et la châtellenie, leurs appendances et appartenances, sans autre réserve que celle du fief »[Note 1].

À partir de la conquête bernoise en 1536, le château devient le chef-lieu du bailliage d'Yverdon de l'État-ville de Berne et sert de résidence aux baillis jusqu'en 1798.

En 1805, alors que le pays de Vaud a obtenu un statut de canton à part entière, la ville d'Yverdon achète le château au canton. Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, qui est déjà un pédagogue renommé, y installe son institut de 1805 à 1825. Le château accueille ensuite des classes de 1838 à 1974. Le château est restauré vers 1920 par l'architecte Otto Schmid, puis à nouveau dès 1956 sous la direction de l'architecte...

Medieval castle with exhibition space inside. We visited it during Alternatyv festival and we had a blast. The cellars have stone walls and you can really imagine the life they havr witnessed 500 years ago. The castle is placed within the pedestrian area of this charming town of Yverdon les Bains and...
