The architecture of these underground rooms reminds us of the great Gothic cathedrals of the 13th Century.
This store for supplies and weapons was turned into a prison in approximately 1290.
This part of the castle certainly greatly stimulates the imagination, with the numerous legends that have arisen from this place. The best-known myth deals with the imprisonment of Bonivard, made famous by Lord Byron, who made him the hero of his poem « The Prisoner of Chillon".
