This bewitching turreted castle, home to 19 different Counts of Gruyères, who controlled the Sarine Valley from the 11th to 16th centuries, was rebuilt after a fire in 1493. Inside you can view period furniture, tapestries and modern ‘fantasy art’, plus watch a 20-minute multimedia film. Don’t miss the short footpath that weaves its way around the castle. A combined ticket covering the château and La Maison de Gruyères cheese dairy costs Sfr14.50 (no child combo ticket).
