Looking for a unique location to hold your event? Why not hire one of the castle’s two great halls and treat yourself to an evening in one of the castle’s most iconic locations? An unforgettable experience for you and your guests in this exceptional setting – guaranteed.
In the Middle Ages, the Savoys used this room as a reception, banquet or feasting hall. It is also where they hosted their vassals and dispensed justice.
Named the ‘Aula Magna’ or ‘Aula Magna Inferior’ (large lower room) it became the milling room when a mill and press were installed in the 13th century, during the Bernese period. From 1839 it was renamed the ‘Hall of Justice’. The black marble columns and lakeside windows date back to the 13th century, the ceiling and chimney date to the 15th century.
This room has been entertaining guests for over 700 years! Restoration work in the early 20th century gave it a medieval look.
As with most of the castle walls, these were decorated with distemper paint, based on models dating back to the late 13th century. The oak columns are 13th-century originals. The coffered ceiling and chimney date from the 15th century. This room is in the part of the castle that was formerly used as a residence, which explains the large 13th-century windows. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a dining room for the castellan. During the Bernese period, it was split into two: one part was a kitchen, the other a living room.
