Where are you from?
Located in the centre of today's city of Yverdon-les-Bains, the castle has undergone many transformations over the centuries.
The Castle of Yverdon-les-Bains, the first known ”carré savoyard” defence building, is a lowland military fortress financed by Peter Count of Savoy in 1259, and planned out by the architects John and James of Saint Georges, known as Master James.
Centrepiece of the Museum of Yverdon and its Region, that it houses since 1915 in order to retrace the city and it's territory over almost 8'000 years, it has been the home of a rich history, famous beyond (the Swiss) borders.
The castle is also currently the home of the Pestalozzi Research and Documentation Centre, the temporary exhibitions of the Swiss Museum of Fashion, as well as the Echandole Theatre, housed in some parts of the cellars.
The contents listed here are maintained by the regional / local tourist offices or service providers, which is why Switzerland Tourism can not guarantee the contents.
