A bit of history

The Château forms an imposing architectural group that dominates the village of Chardonne.
According to available archival documents, the initial building (fortified house) was built in 1527. An extension was made in 1624 with the south staircase turret; new restorations followed in 1910, notably with the reconstruction of the west tower (keep) by architect H. Collombet. It was also at this time that a painter's workshop was set up on the 4th floor of the keep. Transformations in this space continued in 1965, with the installation of woodwork and wall benches, the refurbishment of the fireplace, and the laying of hexagonal tiles on the floor.
It was not until 1974 that the 5th floor of the west tower was created by architect R. Bashler, thus forming the current duplex.
After being over time the property of the De Sturler, De Wattwyl, and De Muralt families, the Château de Chardonne was constituted as a condominium in 1975.
