context_page_description: Lutry is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Vaud, located in the Lavaux-Oron, which includes the Lavaux region, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
context_section_description: In 1798, Lutry joined, at the last minute, the Vaud revolution against Bern.  Following the French invasion in 1798 and the creation of the Helvetic Republic, it was part of the district of Lavaux.  Lutry was administered by an eleven-member council which was led by a Syndic.  Between 1803–25 there were 15 municipal councils and officials, which after 1815 met in an upper council.  Starting in 1826, Lutry and Savigny separated to form two independent municipalities.
  In 1854, the owner of the castle of Lutry was given the town by its owner, Juste Charles Antoine de Crousaz.
  The vineyards, which during the Ancien Régime were partly owned by Fribourg, Bern, Lausanne and Yverdon patricians and partly owned by the citizens of Lutry, became the most important source of income in 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.  The construction of a harbor (1836–38), a quay (1863) and a dock (1816, 1912) opened the city to the lake.  In 1822 the market building was changed into a school.  In 1885, the former school building was demolished to make way for a customs house.  The train station of Lutry on the Lausanne–Brig line opened in 1861.  Followed in 1862 by the La Conversion station on the Bern rail line, followed in 1920 by the stop at Bossière.  Starting in 1896, a tram line connected Lutry with Lausanne.
  The period around the turn of the 20th century was characterized both by the influx of many new, non-local families and by phylloxera disease outbreaks in the vineyards.  The latter triggered an unprecedented economic crisis.  In the 1950s, the decline of viticulture and the parallel urbanization of Lutry encouraged a number of small and medium-sized enterprises.  In 2000 there were approximately 400 businesses in the town.  Starting in the 1960s Lutry grew into Lausanne agglomeration and became a popular residential area for the wealthy classes.
  In 1998, a new port was built.
