Facing the peaceful shores of Lake Morat, Vallamand Castle stands with timeless elegance, a discreet witness to three centuries of history.
Nestled in a private park of over 26,000 m² extending down to the riverbank, the property combines nobility, light and serenity.
Built in 1725 by the von Graffenried family, leading figures of the Bernese patriciate, the castle embodies an art of living where balance and harmony take precedence over ostentation. Its symmetrical façade and meticulous details express the scale of the late Vaudois Baroque.
Under the von Graffenrieds, the castle reached its peak, later welcoming Georges Cailler, heir to the famous chocolatier and aviation pioneer. Even today, the estate retains an atmosphere of prestige and tranquility, between century-old trees and the mirror of the lake.
Inside, generous volumes bathed in light are enhanced by antique parquet floors, period fireplaces, and tall windows overlooking the lake. Spread over several levels, the complex includes two independent apartments, easily combined to form a spacious family residence.
The renovated East apartment includes a living room with a fireplace and terrace, a cozy kitchen, and bedrooms, including a master suite. The West apartment, which is in need of renovation, offers beautiful reception rooms, a dining room, several bedrooms, and a library in the attic.
The vaulted cellars are a reminder of the winemaking past, with an old wine press, two wine cellars, and technical rooms. A three-story outbuilding completes the complex, with storage spaces, a large reception room, and a separate studio for guests or caretakers.
Although there is no mooring port, the property allows boats to be hoisted directly onto the plot, ensuring privileged and intimate access to the lake.
A symbol of elegance and longevity, the Château de Vallamand is aimed at those seeking more than a property, an exceptional refuge, full of meaning, culture and harmony.
