The ancient castle of Siyong in Switzerland is not only an important military fortress, but also the residence of the medieval princes and nobles. In the 20th century, it was renovated as a museum of history, culture and military affairs. With a brilliant history and rich collection, Xiyong Castle attracts tourists from all over the world. The castle is located on a stone island on the shore of Lake Lehmann in Montreux, Switzerland. Originally owned by the Siyong religion, the castle became the property of Count Sava of France after the 12th century. During the reign of Sawapeter II, a large-scale expansion project was carried out to make the castle take shape today. The first courtyard was surrounded by military garrisons and gates, and the second courtyard was surrounded by the residence of the castle owners, as well as warehouses and dungeons. The third courtyard has the main hall of the castle, the duke's bedroom, the chapel, the judicial hall and the clerical hall. Courtyard No. 4 is also called "Wall Courtyard". All the buildings here are built to defend the castle and control the ancient road. The moat of the castle is a natural trench, widened by dredging in the 13th century, and built three semi-circular towers around the outer wall. The ancient bridge across the moat was originally a wooden suspension bridge, which was replaced by an iron beam and wooden slab bridge in the 18th century. One

    Cijung Castle, the official Swiss Tourism Board website "Popular Attractions" column ranked top 5. French "chillon", meaning "stone". Located near Montreux, Switzerland, on the shore of Lake Geneva - and the shore of the lake is far from the Sijong Castle on the huge rock (earliest recorded in 1150); Facing the sparkling Lake Geneva, backed by the steep and towering mountains, like a beautiful palace floating on the water, the scenery is infinite; east-west is the water passage of Lake Geneva, north-south is the land passage of the Alps, strategically positioned soldiers coveted. Sitting on the unique advantages of beautiful scenery and stylish roads, the owners and functions of the castle of Siyong have changed a lot. For a long time, it was the residence of the Earl of Sava and the lucrative toll booths, then the arms warehouse, sometimes the strategic fortress, sometimes the judicial prison... and finally became public property. The view of the castle plank road on both sides of the lake, a simple covered bridge connecting the land, the towering city walls around, 25 independent buildings of different shapes, three simple and exquisite courtyards, more than 40 rich open exhibition rooms... The lake and mountains and the high spires are reflected in each other, the grandeur and the traces of the years complement each other, and the charming scenery is refreshing.

    Siyong Castle is located in the east of Montreux, and the castle itself is not too much of a superb place, maintaining the strong beauty of the medieval architecture (the sense of security is the characteristic of Siyong Castle) and harmonizing the surrounding scenery.

    A majestic medieval water castle. The castle is large and the quaint rooms showcase various items used at the time. The armor and swords are like crossing into the medieval war scene. It is the most representative castle in Switzerland.
