Description
Keep your eyes and ears wide open! The Voice of the Castle will take you on a journey that is as well-documented as it is entertaining. Explore the site and meet the people who lived there: the Counts of Gruyère, the bailiffs of Fribourg and the Bovy and Balland families of Geneva, the last owners of the
castle.
By activating the augmented reality mode, you will see the extraordinary life that abounds within the walls of the fortress. Animals and amazing characters come to life on your screen and allow you to discover the rooms as you have never seen them before.
For history and art lovers, the application also offers explanatory notes on a selection of furniture, objects and works of art from the collection. Just click on the dots to learn more.
The application is available free of charge in French, German and English.

Ratings and Reviews
Great idea, terrible execution
As someone who doesn't have unlimited fast mobile internet in Switzerland, I was practically unable to use this app. The Gruyeres Castle has only one Wi-Fi hotspot that's in the reception area. Everywhere else you have to rely upon cellular.
The app uses old API, so it seems to crash frequently, at which point it loses its mind and starts downloading updates, which never completes at my access speeds.
After a few trips back to the reception, I was able to listen to the guide in a couple of rooms, and even see the augmented reality. Then it crashed once again, and I gave up.
Didn’t work even with data
I had fast data and it still didn’t work. No sound came out of the app. Literally just empty noise with every “clip” that was supposed to be playing.
No bueno
Just using QR codes per room would be more efficient. I couldn’t get it to work. Headphones were not provided.
