Upea keskiaikainen kirkko

Komea vanha rakennus kannattaa nähdä.
Tii Tanner (6 years ago)
Kaunis ja monta aikaa kokenut kirkko. Seinämaalaukset ovat pysäyttävät. Hyvä akustiikka, tyhjänä melko pitkä kaiku. Viileää kesälläkin! Kannattaa tutustua myös kirkon historiaan. Se toimii kesäisin myös tiekirkkona, josta varmasti löydät viilennystä hengellesi matkasi varrella.

Suomen historian vaikuttavimpia kirkkoja,. Ehdottomasti tutustuminen arvoinen. Paanukattoisten kirkkojen aatelia.
Matti Muurimäki (7 years ago)
Historiallinen ja kaunis kirkko, johon kannattaa ehdottomasti tutustua.

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.
