Why go
This record is the castle, not the museum-collection item or the castle bridge that Wikidata lists separately, and it is in Veytaux, not in the municipality of Montreux. The foundation's about page says the Chillon Castle Foundation was created in 2002 to ensure the operation, conservation and restoration of the historic site, which is owned by the canton of Vaud. The castle's home page asks visitors to buy their tickets online, and its FAQ says the castle can be explored with an explanatory brochure available in many languages and that guided tours are offered in several languages.
