Lucens, Switzerland
Lucens Castle, Lucens, Switzerland/
Many towns are crowned by a chateau or castle. Lucens, between Lausanne and Fribourg, also boasts a Sherlock Holmes connection. There is a museum here (closed, sadly, on our day) that recreates the spirit of the sleuth, see ://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/specials/Two_Sherlock_Holmes_museums_in_Switzerland_Elementary.html?siteSect=22121&sid=781152&cKey=1251704158000&ty=st&rs=yes/..
Arthur Conan Doyle's son set it up in the 1960's, the castle then became private, and only recently has a museum reopened in a little house down the road from it. The memorabilia is again public. Highlights: Doyle the writer, and a recreation of his drawing room at 221B Baker Street, London. It claims to be more authentic than other museums, with items actually belonging to Doyle, and the castle there was a favorite of Doyle's as a child.
