Monument au Major Davel

This monument was erected in memory of Major Davel, the hero of Vaud's independence. While the Land of Vaud was under Bernese rule, Davel was commander of the Vaud militia on the payroll of Bern. He had mystical visions of liberating his homeland from Bernese rule. He fomented a revolt, was arrested, tortured and beheaded in 1723, 75 years before independence.
