AT THE HEART OF EUROPEAN HISTORY<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overlooking the Lake of Neuch\u00e2tel, this imposing 13th<\/sup>-14th<\/sup> century Gothic fortress, the seat of the noble Waldensian Grandson family, was at the heart of European history during the Burgundy Wars (1474-1477) between Charles the Bold and the Confederates, and the echoes of the Battle of Grandson (1476) still resound in the collective memory of Switzerland.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”center” advanced_animations=”no” custom_class=”img-right” item_padding=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”29775″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner]<\/i><\/span>[qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” switch_to_one_column=”768″ alignment_one_column=”left”][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”center” advanced_animations=”no” custom_class=”imp-left” item_padding=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”29769″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”left” advanced_animations=”yes” start_position=”center” end_position=”center” item_padding_1280_1440=”0 150px 0 150px” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 120px 0 120px” item_padding_768_1024=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_600_768=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_480_600=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding_480=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding=”0 150px 0 85px” custom_class=”border-left”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1678781739051{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

ONE OF THE FEW<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With its 40-metre-high fa\u00e7ade, huge ramparts and a parapet walk with a circumference of more than 150 metres, Grandson Castle is one of the largest in Switzerland. An ambitious vision of Otto I.<\/sup>, lord of Grandson, the fortress is a splendid example of 13th<\/sup> century castle architecture.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner]<\/i><\/span>[qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” switch_to_one_column=”768″ alignment_one_column=”left”][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”right” advanced_animations=”yes” start_position=”center” end_position=”center” item_padding_1280_1440=”0 150px 0 150px” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 120px 0 120px” item_padding_768_1024=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_600_768=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_480_600=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding_480=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding=”0 85px 0 150px” custom_class=”border-right”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1595861739916{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

A MILLENNIUM OF HISTORY<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a first mention around 1050, the castle of Grandson has gone through almost a millennium of history, under a dozen different owners. From the de Grandson family to the Burgundian house of Chalon, from the three centuries of Bernese-Freiburg bailiwick to the de Blonay family, from the era of the Filipinetti automobile stables to the collections of the Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte.[\/vc_column_text]More detailed history here<\/a>[\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”center” advanced_animations=”no” custom_class=”img-right” item_padding=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”29767″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner]<\/i><\/span>[qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” switch_to_one_column=”768″ alignment_one_column=”left”][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”center” advanced_animations=”no” custom_class=”imp-left” item_padding=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”29773″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” horizontal_alignment=”left” advanced_animations=”yes” start_position=”center” end_position=”center” item_padding_1280_1440=”0 150px 0 150px” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 120px 0 120px” item_padding_768_1024=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_600_768=”0 60px 0 60px” item_padding_480_600=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding_480=”0 30px 0 30px” item_padding=”0 150px 0 85px” custom_class=”border-left”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1595861422071{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

THIRTEEN YEARS OF RESTORATION<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the support of the municipal, cantonal and federal authorities and other institutional stakeholders, this monument of national importance has been undergoing a complete restoration since 2012 and for a period of thirteen years. The aim of this intervention is to safeguard, better understand and highlight this exceptional architectural heritage.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1595861429001{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
