Award-winning sacred heritage 

En español

Una sobresaliente cultura eclesial 

La cuenca del río Sarine, con sus monasterios, iglesias y capillas, ha sido distinguida como Paisaje del año 2018 por la Fundación Suiza para la Protección del Paisaje. Muchos edificios sacros de esta región, de larga tradición religiosa, están abiertos al público. Entre ellos, la magnífica abadía de Hauterive, monasterio cisterciense construido junto a un meandro del río Sarine en las afueras de Friburgo, en 1138. Allí es posible escuchar cantos en un marco solemne o disfrutar de unos días de retiro contemplativo. La abadía Fille-Dieu de Romont, habitada por las hospitalarias monjas cistercienses, o el albergue de la abadía Maigrauge, de Friburgo, ofrecen a sus visitantes paz y quietud. Muchas iglesias monacales, iglesias públicas y capillas de la región vivieron en el pasado tiempos convulsos y atesoran en su interior bellas obras del arte eclesiástico que una visita guiada permite apreciar en todo su valor.

The Sarine basin, with its numerous monasteries, churches and chapels, was awarded the title ‘Land-scape of the Year 2018’ by the Swiss Foundation for Landscape Protection. Many of the sacred buildings in the region, which has been “strongly influenced by religion”, are open to visitors. The Hauterive Abbey, a Cistercian monastery built around 1138, enjoys a picturesque location in a loop of the river Sarine outside Fribourg. You can listen to the monks literally singing God’s praises or spend a few days in quiet contemplation. Peace and quiet can also be found with the hospitable Cistercian nuns in the Fille-Dieu Abbey in Romont or the guesthouse of the Maigrauge Abbey in Fribourg’s Old Town. Competent guides are on hand to share their extensive knowledge of the numerous abbeys, public churches and chapels, which have an eventful history and the most exquisite ecclesiastical art. An overview of the sacred heritage can be found online.
