La Ferme

La Ferme is an 18th century building on the Château’s estate. It was classified as a historical monument and benefitted from a complete restoration in 2014. It now offers exclusive accommodations in a unique historic setting.

Le Chalet Bernois

The Bernese Governors built this small two-bedroom chalet on the foundations of the original entrance lodge leading into the Gothic Castle. After the immensity of the castle, the pine-panelled rooms seem charmingly and intimate.

These 8 rooms, situated at the heart of the Castle, are traditional in style and are all furnished individually with antique furniture. Each one of them is named after a famous writer or poet, adding to the romantic atmosphere of the place.

History

A GOTHIC CASTLE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE OF LA BROYE

Built as a fortified palace for the Bishops of Lausanne, the origins of the Gothic Castle date from the early 13th century, with later additions in the 14th and 15th centuries. The imposing tower, dominating the strategically important Broye Valley, served as a surveillance post and eventual refuge from marauding armies. It also formed part of an ingenious beacon system, linked to other castles in the region. Periods of relative tranquillity were continually jeopardised by fierce warfare and banditry: in 1476, after the Battle of Morat, the Castle’s fortifications were partially destroyed by the Confederate Army.
