Yverdon

Yverdon (also spelt Yverdun), a pleasant Swiss town of 6300 inhabitants in the Canton de Vaud, at the southern end of the Lake of Neuchâtel, 20 miles N. of Lausanne by rail. The old castle, built in 1135, was used by Pestalozzi (q.v.) as an educational institute; and is now occupied by municipal schools, a library, and museum. There is a sulphur-bath less than a mile out of the town.
