Ferme du Largin – border farm between war and neutrality:
The Ferme du Largin is located on a Swiss border spur near Pfetterhouse, at a symbolic place where France, Germany and Switzerland met. During the First World War, it was an important observation point on the edge of the front, guarded by neutral Switzerland. The farm was shelled in October 1914, which led to a diplomatic incident between Germany and Switzerland. During the Second World War, it became a refuge for resistance fighters and refugees. Today, the farm has been partly restored and is a silent witness to border history, war and human resilience.

The farm is in the renovation phase. It is not possible to take a break inside the yard because it is in private possession.
