On November 29, 2023, pastor Mart Jaanson turned 20 years of service to Nõo Church. On the anniversary, the beginning of the church year and the 1st Advent service in the newly renovated church, interludes from the church's mixed choir.

The church was under construction/renovation. But the walkway to the top looks dangerous but definitely safe.

Most of the time this church is closed.. In special occasions like Christmas and Easter this opens.. Nice atmosphere available around in summer time..

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.
