Gruyères: Architectural Landmarks and Museums
Perched on a hilltop in the Fribourg Pre-Alps, the medieval town of Gruyères offers a picture-perfect glimpse into Switzerland’s past. Dominated by the imposing 13th-century Château de Gruyères, the town once served as the seat of the Counts of Gruyères and remains a remarkable example of fortified hilltop architecture. Beyond its historical charm, Gruyères is world-renowned for its cheese which has been produced in the surrounding region for centuries.
