This is a great place to explore when you are in Montreux. It offers history, an informative self-guided exploration that takes you to interesting places in the castle. There’s lots of beautiful photo shots that can be taken within and outside the castle. Be advised to wear comfortable shoes as there’s a bit of steps and certain places can be a bit dark.
Just excellent.

Having grown up around castles and stately homes I can definitely compare and say this was well worth the visit. Views from afar along the lakeside, as well as up close, all impress. Staff helpful and smiling. Exhibits and services excellent. Very surprised how well the castle has held up over the centuries and how well it is being maintained. Unlike so many, you have access to most of it; not just one little wing or tower. A definite on the visit list. Suggest arriving when opens. On our departure was quite busy, even for late September.
Well worth a visit.

Interesting castle. You can skip ahead of the line with your prepurchased ticket. Lots of different rooms with photos, paintings, furniture and descriptions of how it was in the medieval times.
Loved the exploration!

I really enjoyed our visit here and wish we would have planned for more time! We also probably should have got the audio tour, but since we were short on time we just grabbed a map. I LOVED that we were able to explore the castle on our own without a guide- it was so fun to find all the different rooms. The castle is so picturesque as well!

Add this stop to your visit. The castle has been well preserved and documented with historical items and stories. There are few places you can’t go allowing you to see almost the entirety of the castle . It is easily worth the adventure. Be mindful that there are a lot of stairs and some areas have low overhangs and narrow passages.
beautiful visit

Well worth a visit. There is lovely waterfront path that takes you directly to the Chateau. You can easily have lunch and then walk over on a nice sunny day. Well maintained chateau.
