Chateau de Beaulieu is a heritage building that was built in the 18th Century, and once served as a residence for scholar and historian, Madame de Staël. The initial part of the building was designed by Lausanne architect Rodolphe de Crousaz in a neo-classical style with a single facade building. However, the site went through major changes once it was acquired by pastor Gabriel-Jean-Henry Mingard in 1766. Today, the regal castle comprises a three-part facade measuring 50 meters (164 feet) and is home to the exhibit known as Collection de l'Art Brut (Collection of Naive Art), by Jean Dubuffet. Standing under a picturesque sloping roof, this country estate is adorned with charming décor, and is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
This museum is dedicated to H. R. Giger, the brains behind special effects highlighted in the popular movie Aliens. The museum has the same glum and creepy atmosphere that one finds in all the typical Alien movies. The interiors of the museum were designed by Giger himself, and these intricate designs feature details reminiscent of both a spaceship and a medieval fortress - a style that stands in stark contrast to the otherwise pristine and quaint environment of the city of Gruyères. Giger was born in Chur, a Swiss canton in the east, and was known for his work as a surrealist painter and special effects designer, the latter of which earned him an Academy Award for his work on Alien. Giger was also admitted to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2013 for his surreal artwork, which he published in several collections, including Necronomicon and Necronomicon II. The museum houses much of Giger's work. Those who are uncomfortable with the slimy and unnatural world of aliens and outer space creatures should probably prepare themselves before going inside the H.R Giger Museum.
Deep in the recesses of the Sauvabelin forest lies a modern, wood-built tower which affords a breathtaking view of the rolling Jura Mountains and glistening Lake Léman. Measuring 35 meters (115 feet), the distinctive tower takes its name from the surrounding forest. Although it serves a spectacular purpose, the structure itself is eye-catching, and its spiral staircase was inspired by the helical architecture found at the Chateau de Chambord in France. Fashioned out of Douglas firs sourced from local forests, this tower and its supporting institutions are greatly inclined towards sustainable development and environmental consciousness, and strive to radiate the same principles to visitors.
