Tips

September 6, 2023

The Collegiate Church of Romont dates from the 13th and 15th centuries. It is dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption. It is in the choir that the stalls are located, a series of wooden seats reserved for members of the clergy, who were numerous at the time.

The first church of Romont was consecrated in the 13th century. Destroyed by fire in the 15th century, it was immediately rebuilt, in molasse*, in a flamboyant Gothic style. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption.

Every Good Friday at 3 p.m. in Romont, the procession of the Mourners takes place, a tradition widely relayed by the media and which brings together Romont residents and visitors, believers or laypeople. It commemorates the Passion of Christ by referencing the compassion of the women of Jerusalem along the route to Mount Golgotha.

Reminiscent of Friborg Cathedral, but smaller.
