Grengspitz

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Neolithic and Bronze Age riverside settlements on the southern shore of Lake Murten, in the municipality of Greng (FR), since 2011 under the collective name Greng-Spitz Unesco World Heritage. As far as the historical or prehistoric relevance. In addition, it is a wonderful corner with a view of Lake Murten and a couple of nice barbecue areas in between.

Payerne Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

In 2007 a major restoration project was launched. The abbey church restoration project goes hand in hand with the transformation of the market square into a cobbled pedestrian area and the opening of a new discovery circuit. The roofs will also be restored, as will the facades and some of the vaults and interior paintings. The largest Romanesque church in Switzerland has been open to the public again since 2020.

Cigognier Sanctuary

Highlight • Historical Site

Built on a podium, the Roman sanctuary consists of a temple and a triple portico - at least that's what it was then. Today, one striking pillar catches your eye. The construction period began in the 1st century AD and lasted until about the year 140.

Roman Theatre Selley in Avenches

Highlight • Historical Site

The theater formed a unit with the nearby Cigognier Temple and could hold around 9,000 spectators at the time. Comedies, tragedies and also dances or songs for popular or religious festivals were performed - so anyone who fantasizes about gladiators and the like is not getting to the historical truth.
The theater was built in the 2nd century AD and was much larger than it appears today. The reason for this is the overexploitation of building materials, which continued until the 19th century.
