Berner Münster

  Originally built in the 15th century, Berner Münster, located in the heart of Berne at Münsterplattform, serves as the city's main Protestant cathedral. Standing at 100 meters tall, it boasts the highest steeple in Switzerland, attracting visitors eager to climb its 344 steps for panoramic views of the Old Town and the Aare River. One interesting fact is that the construction began in 1421 but wasn't completed until 1893, making it a remarkable example of evolving Gothic architecture over centuries. During the summer months, the surrounding gardens near the river are popular spots for picnics and enjoying the views. Visitors can explore the well-preserved interior, including intricate stained glass and fascinating historical artifacts.
