The Castle of Gruyeres
(in French: château de Gruyeres),
located in the medieval town of Gruyeres, Fribourg, is one of the most famous
in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance. The
castle is the home of three capes of the Order of the Golden Fleece. They were
part of the war booty captured by the Swiss Confederates (which included troops
from Gruyeres) at the Battle of Morat against Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy
in 1476. Source
