Breathtaking sights in Lausanne

Lausanne Cathedral
An imposing medieval cathedral built in the 13th century. The building has both Romanesque and Gothic features. Originally the cathedral was the main Christian pilgrimage site, with up to 70,000 people visiting each year (not a small number in those days). Later, as Switzerland began to convert to Protestantism, Notre Dame was renovated. The interiors became more concise and austere. However, even today the building is famous for its giant organ with seven thousand pipes, ancient sculptures of saints, and unique stained-glass windows.

Chateau des Uschi
A great option of where to go in Lausanne for fans of architecture and history. And also for those who are interested in the unique hotels in Lausanne. In the castle there is a hotel with fifty rooms with typical for ancient palaces interiors. However, all modern conveniences are also present.

Rumina Palace
The building was sponsored by the Rumine-Besuzhev family, and was built at the end of the 19th century in the Florentine Renaissance style. Construction work lasted more than 15 years. At one time the palace housed the city university. Today, however, several museums are housed there, as well as a university library and a cantonal library.

Chateau Saint Mer
Our rating would not be complete without this bishop's castle, built in the Middle Ages. Nowadays the palace is a property of the Council of Canton Vaud, so even the guides in Lausanne will not help you to see its interiors. But you can admire the historic facades, which evoke admiring reviews, for as long as you want.
