Vaud granary (16th c.)

This granary built around 1500-1530 comes from Ecoteaux, above Vevey. At the time, the Vaud Country was still a possession of Savoy and this granary is a mixture of styles: the lock is reminiscent of Savoy, the steeply sloping roof and the corner posts decorated with carved discs resemble the Gothic wooden granaries of Fribourg and Bern.
