Admirable for its typically Romanesque silhouette dominating the podium square in the heart of the city and for its stylistic coherence, the Saint-Adelphe church, open every day, offers a beautiful, well-restored interior space. We will also focus on the discreet and mysterious flat surfaces of the transept, visibly and mysteriously inspired by Celtic mythology.

Something for lovers of the early Middle Ages and the aura of mystery

Vufflens Castle

Vufflens castle was built in 1425 on the site of a previous medieval castle by Henri de Colombier. It is the most significant example of a small group of fortified Romandy castles from the middle ages, characterised above all by its brick construction. In 1530, it was set on fire by Bernese troops. In 1641 it was acquired by the de Senarclens family. The castle is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.

A pleasant 30 minute-walk through the vineyards between Vufflens-le-Château and Denens, offers a stunning view of this magnificent castle, the lake and the Mont-Blanc.
