The castle of Carrouge is located at the top of Haute-Ville. Former seigneurial property, it is now occupied by a specialized school.
Listed as a historical monument in 1905, the former Layaz defense tower is one of the key elements of the Upper Town's physiognomy.
Its terrace offers a plunging view of the Bourg and the Broye River below.

Upper town of Moudon
The small market town of Moudon sits in the curves of the river Broye and is lulled by the cool waters of the river Mérine as it flows below the cliffs on which is perched the “Ville Haute” (high town).
The upper part of the actual “rue du Chateau” (Castle Street) is the oldest sector with its archways on the houses and the large tower, a remnant of the ruling lord’s fortress. It also shows several similarities with the town of Bern and Fribourg.
Moving southwards the rue du Chateau joins the “rue du Bourg” which runs along the ridge of a long rocky offshoot. Its still typical medieval appearance symbolised by the high outside rear walls of the houses being built as a prolongation to the sandstone cliffs on which they stand, has entitled the “Ville Haute” of Moudon to be classified as a site of national interest.

La Broye
The Broye River (79 km long ) runs through Moudon, taking its source in the Fribourg Pre-Alps and reaching as far as Lake Neuchâtel. It has long shaped the natural landscape of the region, giving the valley its name. It has a large number of tributaries, including the Carrouge, the Bressonne and the Mérine.
