Saint-Germain Castle is a castle in the municipality of Gruyères of the Canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.[1]
In 1998 Swiss surrealist painter, sculptor and set designer H. R. Giger acquired the castle, and it now houses the H. R. Giger Museum and Bar, a permanent repository of his work.[2] His wife, Carmen Maria Scheifele Giger, is the Director of the H.R. Giger Museum.[3]
