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].
