Did you know? On 26 December 2024, the highly-anticipated new RTS series “Winter Palace”, in collaboration with Netflix, will hit the TV screens, featuring the Caux Palace which was chosen as a location to be part of the backdrop of the series!
The series, directed by Pierre Monnard, a prominent figure in the Swiss audiovisual landscape, was partly filmed at the Caux Palace and we were thrilled to welcome the team in Caux where they did an amazing job recreating in detail the atmosphere of the late 19th century, including a ballroom scene.
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.
On 2 November, the first two episodes premiered at the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF).
Save the date and watch the full series, starting 26 December 2024 on RTS 1 and Play RTS and broadcast early 2025 on Netflix.
