The Château Saint-Maire in Lausanne is a medieval castle that originally served as a bishop's residence. After the Bernese conquest in 1536, it was converted into an administrative center – a role it continues to hold today as the seat of the cantonal government.

Reformed Church Saint-François, Lausanne The Saint-François church in Lausanne, consecrated between 1260 and 1280, is offering a series of events to celebrate its 750th anniversary from January 15, 2022 to December 2022: concerts, tours, conferences, creations, services, and times for exchange are on the program. The heritage of Saint Francis of Assisi is still very present in Lausanne. On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the consecration of the church built by the Franciscans in Lausanne, the spirit of the «Poverello» still delights a wide audience. Of course, the faithful, but also the many people attracted by the heritage and cultural aspect of the place.

Château St-Maire / Schloss Saint-Maire, Lausanne The building, with its solid construction typical of the city palaces of the time, still shows today that it served both residential and military purposes. Since the Bernese did not want to leave the castle to the people of Lausanne in 1536, they housed their bailiff there. It has been the seat of the cantonal government since 1803. The castle's defensive storey is particularly noteworthy. It is made of brick and has battlements and machicolations. It was probably built by Italian masters at the invitation of Bishop Guillaume de Challant (1406-1431), who himself came from the Aosta Valley. This type of architecture has well-known predecessors such as the fortress of Verona and no less famous successors such as the Moscow Kremlin.

Synagogue, Av. Juste-Olivier 1, Lausanne The synagogue was built in 1909/10 according to plans by the architects Charles Bonjour, Adrien van Dorsser and Oscar Oulevey. Text / Source: wikipedia.org https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synagoge_(Lausanne) Grande Synagogue, Lausanne On Tuesday, October 9, 1909, the foundation stone for the Lausanne synagogue was laid. It was inaugurated on November 7, 1910. When the project was conceived, there was a wealthy Jewish patron of the arts from Bordeaux, Daniel Iffla-Osiris, who, as a sign of gratitude to the Swiss for the reception they had given Bourbaki's army in 1870, bequeathed certain sums to the city of Lausanne in his will. This legacy includes, among other things, the sum of CHF 50,000 made available to the Israelite Community of Lausanne (CIL) so that it can build a synagogue. This one, according to the will, should have the image of the one in Rue Buffault in Paris, a gift from the same patron to the Jews of Paris in 1877.
