Château de Vaulruz
Switzerland, Switzerland
Château de Vaulruz is a 13th-century medieval castle perched above the village of Vaulruz in the Gruyère region of Fribourg canton, Switzerland, originally built as a strategic stronghold and later improved by Louis II of Savoy in the early 14th century.
It passed through noble families like the de Blonay before being damaged during the 15th-century Burgundian Wars and acquired by Fribourg in 1536 amid the Bernese conquest of Vaud, with partial reconstruction in 1910 following ancient plans.
The well-preserved structure overlooks open fields in the scenic Prealps, serving as a private historic landmark not open to the public, emblematic of Gruyère's feudal heritage.
