Nice old church. Inside it the byzantine icon of the first Swedish female orthodox saint, Anna if Novgorod

A pretty little brick church with beautiful wall/ceiling paintings and curiosities inside. Surroundings are pretty, as well. Well-worth a visit for anyone with an interest in history, together with the ruins just nearby.

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.
