Where to Stay near Aigle Castle

South of Montreux, the small Medieval town of Aigle is on the eastern edge of the Rhone Valley at the base of the Vaudois Alps. Once an important location along the road to Italy, Aigle is now better known for its distinctive turreted castle, which has been enlarged, destroyed and re-built several times over the centuries.

In 1804, the district of Aigle bought the castle, and until 1975 was used as both a courthouse and a prison, as well as temporary shelter for disadvantaged families in the region. But locals felt it had great potential as a cultural heritage site, so it wasn’t long before Aigle Castle re-opened as the Vine and Wine Museum, complete with four reception spaces reserved for weddings, private events and banquets.
