It was a perfect fair tut un man-made. The streams happened to be familiar. Behind the mask we were able to sing well.

You can say that in order to attend a comic church. Komia Church.

Gorgeous, one of the largest churches in Finland. Cemetery nicely tidy already in spring. Worth to see.

The most beautiful church I've seen. A beautiful urn grove, a fine stone pile, gets a nameplate when handing over the graveyard

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.
