Freddie Mercury Statue

Montreux

“If you want peace of mind, come to Montreux”, said Freddie Mercury (1946-1991). As well as living in Montreux, he also recorded six albums there with Queen, including “Made in Heaven”. In memory of his presence, Freddie Mercury’s bronze statue has stood on the lakeside promenade since 1996. One special touch is that his fans are constantly laying flowers there.

Due to the installation of the main stage for the Montreux Jazz Festival, the statue has been temporarily relocated to the Rouvenaz Gardens, a few meters from its usual location. It will return to its original place at the end of the festival.
