Visit the Murten old town!

This chapel is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra and is among the oldest buildings in the region. Its construction was undertaken around the year 1167 by the Valaisian Canons of Montjoux of the Great Saint Bernard. Once a place of worship for the priory housing a few monks, it rose in the heart of a generous forest, property of the lord of Estavayer. These venerable religious were entrusted with the noble mission of sanitizing and building a prosperous agricultural village.

The water is only ankle-deep at this spot. There is no barbecue or campfire area. There are also no benches or other seating facilities on site. It is pure nature that does not want to be spoiled by tourism.

The tower is open continuously from April (Easter) to October. Admission is free. People with walking disabilities or acute fear of heights should avoid the tower. There is only one staircase up and down. Crossing on the inner staircase is a bit difficult. The outer staircase has around 45 steps, the inner one around 65. The view from the 30-meter-high tower top is unique. At the foot of the tower, a spacious meadow with scattered benches and tables invites you to linger. Cultural events such as festivals and the like regularly take place here. Next to the tower, there are no other noteworthy buildings (apart from the church) that can be visited.
