Church.

Nice atmosphere. Repair work is currently underway. The church is in dire need of funding. Nice women from the staff helped us figure out what was what at the entrance....

A two-story church. The lower small church is used in winter and the upper large church in summer. A very beautiful church song!

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.
