How to find the St. Germain castle in Switzerland:

If you are travelling by car from Basel or Zurich take the Highway to Bern and Lausanne, exit at Bulle and follow the direction to Chateau-d´Oex. After Chateau-d´Oex follow the signs to Gruyères. The little picturesque village of Gruyères is located on a hill. Leave your car on the parking lot and go through the little village until you pass a tunnel arc, which is already a part of the Chateau St. Germain. On the right side you will find the entrance to the exhibition of the H.R. Giger museum projects. If you continue to walk up the hill, you will reach the Chateau of Gruyéres where the exhibition of Giger´s art collection will take place.
