Favorite Castles: Switzerland (Favorite Castles of Europe)

By Michael January

Fifteen favorite castles in Switzerland in gorgeous full color with stories of history, design and cultural significance from the perspective of a medieval enthusiast traveler exploring historical Europe, from the online travel guide website BargainTravelEurope.comSwiss castles are some of the most beautiful in Europe, set against the mountain meadows and peaks of the Alps or by shimmering lakesides amid ancient terraced wine vineyards. Travel tourism virtually began with Lord Byron's haunting story of the "Prisoner of Chillon", based on his visit to Switzerland's most iconic medieval fortress of the Chateau Chillon on Lake Geneva. Yet, Switzerland's medieval trails tell stories of love triangles and fights for freedom, from the Dukes of Gruyere to the Hapsburgs and Savoys, and even empires built on chocolate.
