About "Winter Palace"

Winter Palace, an RTS series, filmed in collaboration with Netflix, was directed by Pierre Monnard, a prominent figure in the Swiss audiovisual landscape.

Part of the series was shot at the Caux Palace and we were thrilled to welcome the production and film team in Caux where they did an amazing job recreating in detail the atmosphere of the late 19th century, including a ballroom scene. Other highlights include the transformation of the Main Hall into an elegant dining room and the atmospheric use of the basement for key scenes.

It is not surprising that the Caux Palace was chosen as a location to be part of the backdrop of the series. With its high local visibility, perched up above the Leman, and classified as a building of national interest, this former Belle Époque hotel is a unique piece of Swiss heritage.
Its architecture, history and cultural role make it a fascinating place and we are very proud of our team of highly-skilled craftsman who are doing an amazing job maintaining and restoring the Caux Palace's rich heritage.

• Evelyne LÜTHI-GRAF, Historian Advisor
• Marion SCHRAMM, Chief Set Designer for Winter Palace
• Thierry ROMANENS, Actor, Winter Palace
