Castles of Switzerland in Photos

Swiss castles in pictures, from the south of the Alps to the shore of Lake Geneva. Most photos show Castel Grande in Bellinzona, Ticino. Its towers and long walls rise on a rocky hill above the town. Together with two other castles, it forms a UNESCO World Heritage site. The gallery also shows Nyon Castle with its white towers and the old town around it. From its terrace you look out over Lake Geneva towards the Alps. All photos come from places we have visited and described. Open any place to see it on the map, check the weather and plan how to get there.
