Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

After the fatal outcome of the Battle of Murten on June 22, 1476 in Burgundy, there were around 10,000 fallen Burgundians and their allies on the battlefield. After 3 days of watch, as was customary, the landowners were forced to bury the dead on the spot, then in two pits. About ten years after the battle, the bones and skulls were exhumed and taken to the specially built ossuary, which was filled to the ceiling.

Reformed Church of Faoug

Highlight • Religious Site

The core of the reformed parish church dates back to the 12th century. Today, only the Romanesque choir remains from this period; the remaining parts come from the numerous later renovations and new buildings. Next to the church is the rectory, which was built in the 16th century and later also underwent several changes. To the east of the rectory is the oven building from 1785.
