Project Château de Grandson 2026
Started in 2012, the renovation works are now being associated with a museum renewal. The whole project should be completed by 2026.
Annual reports
If the year 2020 was dedicated to the structure of the “Château de Grandson 2026” project, 2021 was dedicated to its content. The concepts of the future museum and tourist site, as set out in the scientific and cultural project signed by the Stiftung für Kunst Kultur und Geschichte and the Fondation du Château de Grandson in 2020, have had numerous impacts on the renovation project and on the operating structure.
