Murten Essentials

Murten’s historical landscape is anchored by its 13th-century castle and the site of the 1476 Battle of Morat, where Swiss Confederates defeated Charles the Bold. This collection explores the region's military and architectural heritage, from the lakeside museum housed in an old mill to the Cluniac origins of Münchenwiler Castle. Visitors can access the town via the central boat station or take in panoramic views of Lake Murten and the Jura Mountains from elevated vantage points.
