L'Isle Castle is a castle in the municipality of L'Isle of the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.[1]
L'Isle Castle was built in 1696 by Charles de Chandieu, lieutenant general of the Swiss Guards of Louis XIV, on plans by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, nephew of the great François Mansart. After the hands of different families, it was bought by the municipality of L'Isle in 1876 which transforms it into school classes and as home town.[2]
