Château Salavaux

From 1810 onwards, Château Salavaux became the property of Mr Frédéric Bessard, who turned it into a farm, of which some remains can still be seen. In addition to the residential quarters, the building included a cellar with a vaulted ceiling, two stables, two barns, one of which was used to store firewood. In the second barn there were also two wine presses, a kiln, a distillery and a hayloft. Next to it was the mill with its water wheel. In the 20th century, Mr Paul Burri, the new owner of the Château, began with renovations to transform Château Salavaux into a hotel and restaurant. At that time, the estate had the largest chimes in Europe (59 bells), which have now been dismantled but are still known as the "Carillon ambulant de Paltz" (Paltz Carillon). The 13th century round tower of the original building still stands. It has been very well maintained over the years and gives the estate an incomparable charm.
