Castle of Prangins

Prangins lies just a few minutes from Nyon. It is an impressive example of the links between a living place and one that is steeped in history. This magnificent complex, situated high above Lake Geneva, offers much to enthral the visitor: The château dating from 1730: together with its English-style park and kitchen garden, it has been meticulously restored in the old style; The museum, its permanent and special exhibitions depicting life in Switzerland in the 18th and 19th centuries and also covering topics from the fields of art, culture and society; Its rich and varied cultural programme, which is regularly updated and is open to the public either generally or by appointment.
