Wonderful little chateau that is a National Museum that’s very child friendly. We went for a children’s party where the kids did a treasure hunt inside the chateau then ended it with free play in the wonderful gardens. There is a lovely cafe with a gorgeous terrace to enjoy a glass of wine or panaché while waiting for the children. I’ll write a separate review on the Cafe du Chateau. Another marvel to walk around is the Kitchen Garden. According to their website “Like the museum, the Kitchen Garden traces its roots back to the 18th century – the Age of Enlightenment – when expeditions and travellers bring countless new things and previously unknown plants back from all over the world.” Even just a stroll or siting on the benches to enjoy the garden is a wonderful thing to do on a sunny spring day. Highly recommend this chateau for families in Spring or Autumn.

If you like Switzerland, if you want to learn about the country's history, and trouble time, if you want to apply for citizenship... this museum is a must-see. Plenty of excellent didactic and pedagogic materials including the friendly availability a of the personnel. at the time of my visit there was also a temporary exhibition of the Swiss Photos Press awards (until March 2018). Cherry on the cake: the cafe with a three course meals + drink for 30 CHF on an appealing terrasse.

The Château is an excellent outing for either half a day or a full day out depending on how much you would like to enjoy the area. Located just off the shores of Lake Geneva you can take a journey back in time to the Baron and Baroness Guiger the original owners. The upper floors offer rotating exhibits of who the Swiss are as well as a history of wallpaper and fabric. The kitchen garden is also a sight to behold.

A fantastic place for walks and strolls in any season or weather, educational workshops for kids and adults, exhibitions connecting culture and nature as well as for Saturday buffet lunch in the castle's restaurant. A five-hectare estate comprises a park, a meadow turned orchard, and a large historical kitchen garden. Entrance to the grounds is free.

This was a great family activity. The castle is beautiful. Various different exhibitions on different floors. We particularly enjoyed the kids guided “what is Switzerland ? tour. There is also a most beautiful restaurant at the chateau that had a fantastic menu. And the grounds are simply incredible.

Este castillo es pequeño pero tiene mucha alma. En sus alrededores se respira paz y tranquilidad. El jardín que tiene enfrente con algunas semillas que datan de la época cuenta con su colonia de insectos bien adaptada, yo me he quedado observando la vida ahí adentro por un buen rato y es fascinante. En cuanto al museo, también pequeño, no me esperaba demasiado, pero, el diseño, su contenido global, interactivo (top), así como su intencionada y bien seleccionada colección de arte, hacen que sea un destino a no perderse. El personal es agradable y dispuesto a ofrecerte información. Tiene salones de exposiciones temporales y rincones para relajarse. El recorrido es fácil y cuenta con ascensor. Un bonito y agradable descubrimiento. Precio adecuado.
