Chateau Saint Maire

It is situated on the far north end of the City slope, the Château Saint-Maire has been the seat of territorial power since it was set up. Lausanne's diocesans fabricated it between around 1400 and 1430 as their new habitation, picking the site for its separation from the lower city and its turbulent bourgeoisie. With the enormous appearance of the city manors of now is the right time, today despite everything we consider its private and military capacities.

In 1536, unwilling to forsake it to Lausanne's occupants, Bern introduced its bailiff here. Since 1803, the Cantonal Government has lived here.

The protective level of the château is especially essential. Made of block and including openings and low profile merlons, it was most likely outlined by Italian bosses who stopped by welcome of Bishop Guillaume de Challant 1406-1431, himself's identity initially from the Aosta Valley. This sort of engineering has surely understood ancestors, similar to the post in Verona, and similarly well known successors, for example, the Kremlin in Moscow.
