Interesting to come to the same areas where our ancestors made important decisions for many people. Logtun was the yard where the law (logen) was put into effect for hundreds of years.

An interesting and exciting museum facility. Nice old stone church in a beautiful landscape facing the Trondheimsfjord.

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.
