Hauteville Castle is a castle in the municipality of Saint-Légier-La Chiésaz of the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.[1]

History[]

In 1733, Jacques-Philippe d'Herwarth acquired the lands that included the municipalities of Saint-Légier and La Chiésaz. He merged these lands with the estate in Hauteville which he already owned. The castle was built on the estate in the 1760s.[2] In 2019, Pepperdine University purchased the castle and its 67 acres overlooking Lake Geneva, and after a multi-million euro renovation the university plans to operate the estate as a global conference center and campus for its Switzerland-based study abroad program.[3]
