Rolle

Among the lakeside towns of Vaud, Rolle stands out for its Lake Geneva waterfront, where Rolle Castle and the small artificial Île de la Harpe form enduring local landmarks. The medieval castle, built in the 13th century, stands beside the harbour and recalls the town’s long connection with the House of Savoy. Vineyards of the La Côte wine region cover the slopes behind Rolle, while the lake extends south towards the Alps. The island honours Frédéric-César de La Harpe, a Vaudois political figure. Rolle’s compact centre, harbour promenades and rail connections place it between Geneva and Lausanne.
