Notre Dame Basilica is also quite remarkable. Directly opposite there is the fountain “Samson tears the mouth of a lion.”

The Franciscan church is the only thing left of the ancient 13th century monastery. Inside there is an old altar, a crucifix from the end of the 15th century and Gothic choirs – the oldest in Switzerland, where there is a live broadcast from.

A striking example of late Gothic is the town hall building, erected in the period from 1501 to 1522. The colorful fountain of St. George, built in 1525, is very interesting.
