Ok, we didn't go inside the castle (was closed at that time due to some sneaky virus that took over the world). But we were surprised to learn that most of the grounds in and around the castle were open and free to roam around. You can walk around the gardens, get up to the walls, walk around the castle itself (except for a small section). The castle itself is well preserved and well taken care of. The views are amazing with the mountains and countryside in the back. And the track around the castle is a nice little stroll. Lots of photo ops, some benches to take a break underneath a tree. It's a fantastic castle in a charming old town. Either you go inside or not, this is a place not to be missed.

Honestly you can miss the place. Not a big deal and I do not trust the origin of all that is shown. Well refurbished, not necessarily well rendered and exposed. However the wood furnishings and furnitures, if not beautiful, are somehow great art craft and nice to see. Now out side, garden and point of view are worth them. Specially with a beautiful June sun
Lovely place. Nice castle surrounded by mountains. They're are many restaurants and nice views all around.
Authentic medieval castle with 1800s remodeling (visit for a family of 4 with 3 and 6 years old 25chf) . Perhaps would be worth getting an audio guide for the visit and a bit more details on how the Inhabitants lived in various eras of the castle's history. Lovely strolle through the tiny médiéval village, several very nice restaurant options with terraces and gorgeous views over the dramatic mountain landscape Totally worth a day trip from Geneva if also visiting the Cailler House which provides for a nice informative visit with special visual and olfactive effects!
Scenic and beautiful. Great views...if there are no clouds. Very touristy...but what do you expect?? They handle it well and provide a great day out. The car park b is a bit difficult to understand (did not want to pay 10chf just to go for an hour, could be broken).
All together it's a fairy tale kind of scenery if the weather is nice. The castle itself is also nice to visit. It has 19th century paintings within medical walls. The little town is ok if you do near fear tourist crowds. Visit the h.r. Higher museum for some contrast (but without your children).
Such an awesome little castle town. Fairly easy to walk around and see everything, although be ready for a workout in the hills, especially if you have a stroller! There's a nice little playground too.
A beautiful medieval castle perched upon a small hill that is visible from surrounding areas. It is difficult to miss this castle. Nestled in the small town of Gruyeres, you should visit the castle for its history and art. I loved spending time in their beautiful small garden and then a hearty lunch at a local restaurant. Makes for a perfect weekend.
