Build to frighten or to charm the castles of Europe, but not limited to are simply imposing. Their number is countless and each of them is unique. I've made a hobby from visiting and photographing them...
The Chateau d'Aigle was built in the 12th century by the Savoy family, but the current shape is due to reconstruction taken place in the 15th century by the Bernerse lords. Sitting between famous vineyards it is currently a powerful symbol of the French speaking part of Switzerland. Winter, with snow-white Alps (French) in the background. HDR Image made from 3 different exposures in order to obtain details in the shadow areas of the composition. A polarized filter has been used.
