This is the Meret Oppenheim fountain at Waisehausplatz and not the Dutch Tower as wrongly described

Fountain with a historic statue from 1545 commemorating the legendary crossbowman Ryffi.

The Käfigturm in Bern is a historic defense and prison tower in the center of the city. It was built in the 13th century as part of the city fortifications and later served as a prison until the 19th century. Today the tower is used as a political forum for exhibitions and events. The Käfigturm is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the old town of Bern.

The Dutch Tower is part of Bern's former city fortifications and is located near the Bear Pit. The fountain itself is rather simply designed and contributes to the historical atmosphere of the surroundings. The name "Dutch Tower" likely derives from Dutch mercenaries who served or were quartered in Bern during the Middle Ages.

Federal Palace Bern, history On April 1, 1902, the new building was ceremoniously handed over to the Swiss Confederation. Where a music hall and an old hospital once stood, parliament and government now meet. The Federal Palace in Bern has its task of uniting the country's inhabitants literally carved in stone. When the Federal Constitution came into force on September 12, 1848, the question of where the government and parliament should be located was not yet clear. It was not until November that the Federal Assembly decided on Bern as the seat of the authorities. Two years later, the Bern municipal council announced an architectural competition for the "Federal City Hall". In the meantime, the Federal Council met in the Erlacherhof, the current seat of the Bern government. With the total revision of the Federal Constitution in 1874, the federal government was suddenly given new areas of responsibility that had previously been the responsibility of the cantons. The administration soon reached its space limits and a new building was needed. The city therefore handed over its responsibility to the federal government two years later. In 1880, he bought the Inselspital building, which had to make way for the new Federal Palace seven years later. An architectural competition was held again, and Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli and Hans Wilhelm Auer were chosen as the winners. This is how today's Federal Palace East was created, a symmetrical counterpart to the existing "Federal City Hall" in the west. Eleven years later, the two architects Bluntschli and Auer were invited to another competition, this time for a parliament building between the two administrative wings. Although an international committee of architects was called upon to select the best design, in 1891 the Federal Council decided on its own authority to accept Hans Wilhelm Auer's proposal. This proposed a domed building in the style of the Capitol in Washington D.C. After several years of work, 30 types of Swiss stone were used with the help of 38 local artists to create a national monument with an impact on all cantons. The new building was ceremoniously handed over to the Swiss Confederation on April 1, 1902. The building cost 7.2 million Swiss francs – compared to today's conditions, this would be equivalent to around 700 million Swiss francs.

Church of the Holy Spirit, Bern The history: First a hospital, then a magnificent sacred building The Church of the Holy Spirit in Bern has been mentioned since 1228. Built as a hospital church, it combined church, monastery and hospital until the 18th century. The Holy Spirit Hospital was run by the brothers of the lay order of the Holy Spirit, who cared for marginalized people there. These included, for example, the poor sick, the elderly, the disabled, pilgrims, beggars, orphans and unmarried pregnant women - anyone who needed a place to sleep, eat or be cared for. The hospital church was built at its current location, which was far outside the city at the time. The area outside the city served as community property, where many citizens of the city of Bern had their gardens. At the same time, the hospital church was on the important road to Murten and Fribourg. With the last expansion of the city around 1345, the hospital church was integrated into the city of Bern and was now located directly behind the city wall at the main gate, later known as the Christoffel Tower. The new district was called "Heiliggeist-Neuenstadt". The first new building of the hospital church was built between 1482 and 1502. This spatially separated the hospital wing from the sacred space. The church also received a tower and a choir. In 1655, the sacred space was further enlarged and the hospital wing was now housed in a new building next to the church. Due to the dilapidated state of the hospital church, a new building was suggested in 1722. The hospital was moved to the current site of the Burgerspital and the church was rebuilt according to the Evangelical Reformed denomination. In 1729, the new baroque magnificent building was inaugurated, as it has been preserved to this day.
