Château de Prangins, home to a branch of the Swiss National Museum, is Switzerland's largest 18th-century castle open to the public, located in Prangins near Lake Geneva in canton Vaud.
Built in the 1730s by banker Louis Guiguer in French classical style on a site with medieval origins destroyed in 1536, it hosted figures like Voltaire and Joseph Bonaparte before becoming a museum in 1998 after acquisition by the cantons of Vaud and Geneva in 1975.
