Berntor, Murten
Highlight • Monument
Built in the 13th century, the Bern Gate originally served as part of Murten's city walls. It was an important element of the city's defense and provided access for travelers who wanted to enter the city through the gate. The massive construction and impressive height of the gate testify to the importance it had in times gone by.
Today, the Bern Gate is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of Murten's rich history. Visitors can walk through the gate and enjoy the view from the adjacent city walls. The surrounding landscape with the idyllic lakes and the green hills gives the place a special atmosphere that invites you to linger.
The Bern Gate is not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a testimony to Murten's turbulent past and a place that inspires the imagination of its visitors.

Murten Castle
Highlight • Castle
The castle dates back to the time of Count Peter II of Savoy (1255). Below the portal from 1516, which was rebuilt several times and dates from 1755 in its present form, there was a cistern that is only marked in the paving today. The large, square tower, the so-called keep or "Luegisland", served Adrian von Bubenberg to monitor what was happening during the battle. While the castle used to be the residence of the sheriffs or was used as a hospital, barracks and prison, it is now the seat of the Oberamt of the Freiburg lake district.
