Bern city walking tour Medieval Churches STEP BACK IN TIME: BERN IN THE 13TH AND 14TH CENTURIES
The “Bern city walking tour Medieval Churches” opens wide the doors to the Middle Ages.
The “French” Church, a former Dominican monastery transferred to the Huguenots (the French protestants), is the oldest in the city. Its Gothic rood screen, crafted by the Master of the Carnation, exemplifies the spirit of Swiss painting at the dawn of the Renaissance.
The cathedral, a marvel of flamboyant Gothic, captivates with its masterfully sculpted façade and its sparkling cycle of stained glass, unique in Switzerland.
Two churches. Two Gothic gems. Two dazzling mirrors of Bern’s civic and religious identity in the late Middle Ages to be discovered with an archaeologist art historian.
Our “Bern city walking tour Medieval Churches” is a immersive cultural walk into the art and urbanism of medieval Bern.
