Beautiful church to the cemetery is so pretty and well maintained to wn weather time both by those who have their loved ones and close here but not least by a wonderful good church servant that we are so holy to have in Gausdal. He is not possible to get pink high enough, he is absolutely wonderfully helpful to good. Thank you so much for everything you do for all of us. We appreciate that immensely.

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.
