Chillon Castle, Switzerland

Traveling along the picturesque coast of Lake Geneva, it is definitely worth visiting the stunning medieval structure, which is located near the cozy resort town of Montreux. Chillon Castle is one of the main attractions of Switzerland, hiding historical facts of different eras, wealth, and legends. After the release of Lord Byron's poem "The Prisoner of Chillon", this amazing place became especially popular. Now the entire territory of the castle has become a museum that gives an idea of the medieval life of the country and the history of Chillon.
