Oberwil Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Small church above the main street.

The church in Oberwil near Büren, formerly St. Maria, was built between the 12th and 17th centuries. Previous buildings date from the 9th to 12th centuries. The church is located on the western edge of the village in a dominant position on a steep hillside terrace that slopes down towards the street and is secured by retaining walls. The east-facing solid building with a Romanesque tower has a late Gothic choir. Notable furnishings include the pulpit from 1625, the baptismal font from 1689 and the glass panes by Andreas Fueter from 1710-11.

A wooden bridge has been connecting historic Büren with the district of Reiben north of the Aare since the 13th century. Since then, the wooden structure has been destroyed eight times by floods, ice or fire. [4] For example by the Bernese troops when the French invaded in 1798. It was rebuilt in 1821. [5]

In the course of the Jurassic conflict, Büren, as the capital of the then still existing administrative district of Büren, was the scene several times. In November 1987, alleged Béliers carried out an arson attack on the wooden bridge, which however failed.

Another arson attack led to the complete destruction of the bridge on April 5, 1989. Shortly after 4 a.m., the historic river crossing was in full fire. In order to delay the fire brigade, strangers glued the locks in the fire brigade magazine with glue. 150 emergency services from Büren and the surrounding communities fought the full fire, but were ultimately only able to save the soil structure, so that at least a footbridge could be built over the destroyed bridge shortly after the fire. The arsonists were never caught, but due to the similarity to the attack in 1987, they are most likely also to be assigned to the Béliers. In 1991 the new building, the ninth bridge, was opened to traffic

Büren an der Aare is located - as the name suggests - on the river Aare. Büren was founded in the 12th century by the Barons of Strassberg.
Only a few medieval settlements have been able to preserve their historical appearance as intact over the centuries as Büren an der Aare. There is a lot to see, including fascinating handicrafts in various studios and, of course, the famous wooden bridge.

Calm and peaceful, the Alte Aare rejoins its new course.
A wonderful place, a beautiful bridge to walk across, suspended over the water. Beautiful.

Aare Canal

Highlight • River

Cycling along the Aare Canal in Orpund is a peaceful and scenic experience, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The path follows the gentle curves of the canal, surrounded by lush vegetation and peaceful views of the water, making it a perfect escape from the busier roads.
