Château d'Ouchy is a 12th-century castle perched on the shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne's Ouchy district. Originally built as a bishop's fortress, it was transformed into a hotel in the late 19th century and now operates as a luxury accommodation. Visitors can stroll through its manicured park, admire the medieval architecture, and enjoy panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The castle's restaurant and terrace are popular spots for a meal or drink while taking in the scenery. Its prime location along the lakefront promenade makes it a natural stop for anyone exploring Ouchy.
