OK, so this is not my own pic. In fact, my camera battery ran out, so I got this postcard to show you the castle from the outside.
There were three courtyards. This was the first after the drawbridge.
These windows (as well as the castle toilets – holes cut in boards) overlooked Lake Geneva about 40 m below. They were high!
There were some impressive dungeons below the castle. Some courageous soul was chained to the main pillar on the left for four years for refusing to recognize foreign rule, before the regime was overthrown. Byron, who wrote a poem about him, carved his name in the next pillar.
But not everyone made it out alive.
