Monuments to visit Chexbres

Crousaz, one of the three hamlets at the base of the commune of Chexbres, was once a fortified village. Overlooking the lake, the castle is situated on a promontory which allows Chexbres to present itself as "the balcony of Lake Geneva". In spite of this, the castle was burnt down several times, and the building was rebuilt from 1603 to 1607. At that time it housed a courtroom. Today, the castle has become private property. Since 1999, it has been the headquarters of an international university network of researchers specialising in quality management.

Seat of the Municipal Council and the Municipality since 1915, this 18th century building was formerly the Auberge du Coeur d'Or. In the 19th century, it became the property of a Bernese patrician family, the Wyttenbachs, who gave it its present name with more Germanic origins. It is one of the most beautiful and oldest buildings in the village. Its architecture is harmonious and it is always well maintained. Today, in addition to belonging to the municipality of Chexbres, it is also the venue for other events.
