Château d'Oron
Oron, Vaud, Switzerland
Château d'Oron is a well-preserved 13th-century medieval castle in the municipality of Oron-le-Châtel, canton of Vaud, Switzerland, strategically positioned to control the Broye valley passage.
Originally built by the lords of Oron and later passing to the Counts of Gruyère before Bernese acquisition in 1555, it served as a bailiff's residence until 1798, with major reconstructions in the late 15th and 17th centuries.
Acquired by preservation associations in 1936, this Swiss heritage site of national significance now features restored 18th-century apartments, a renowned library of 18,000 French novels from 1775-1825, and hosts public events like banquets and exhibitions.
