This evocative photograph, taken in 1865, offers a breathtaking general view of the town as it once appeared, with its rich history and stunning lakefront setting.

In the foreground, the lake shimmers under the clear blue sky, reflecting the town's beauty and serenity. At the heart of the scene, the majestic Château de Chillon, a 13th-century castle, stands proudly on a small island in the lake. This iconic landmark, with its distinctive towers and battlements, has long been a symbol of Vevey's storied past.
