The History Museum of Vevey presents the city’s heritage and the region (Lavaux).

The museum is housed in a 16th-century castle.

There are two collections: a collection of ancient keys, locks and boxes and the works by the painter F.A.L. Dumoulin (1753-1834). Dumoulin witnessed the Franco-English naval battles in the West Indies (1775-1783). He painted these events.

The museum also dedicates a separate section to the Fête des Vignerons (Musée de la Confrérie des Vignerons, www.confreriedesvignerons.ch).

The Confrérie des Vignerons acquired the building in 1986 and maintains its headquarters on the first floor. Les Cent Suisses, the famous Hundred Swiss, have participated in the Fête since 1819, and in 2019, with women, les Suissesses.
