Who doesn't know "the Ligerz Church"? After a stroll through the vineyards, visitors arrive at the late Gothic building and realize it's a church the size of Biel's city church. How did a community like Ligerz come to have such a large church? In 1417, the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz, and Kleintwann were granted permission to build their own chapel. In 1482, the small church was replaced by a large pilgrimage church, which, endowed with relics from Rome and a special indulgence granted by 15 cardinals, became a major attraction for the faithful. Between 1961 and 1972, the entire church was restored in several phases. Even today, the Ligerz Church remains a popular wedding venue.

I think 2 francs entry (children pay 1 franc) is fair.

I've done it many times and it's always beautiful. First, up on the funicular...

For those using public transport, pay close attention to the train timetable. There is one train per hour between Twann and Biel, and no other means of transport. In winter, there are no boats making this journey.

Comfortable mountain trail with a great view of Lake Biel and St. Peter Island. 👍

Very nice view over Lake Biel!

Great view of the church and Lake Biel from the Rebenweg. 👍
