Monuments and architecture

Fribourg’s location in the river bend made construction of serveral bridges essential, especially after extension of the town to the right side of the river including the second bend of the Sarine 1253. The fountains of Hans Gieng, spread about the Old Town, served long into the 20th century as a source of potable water. Discover more about the architecture and monuments in the city of Fribourg…
