Berntorplatz

Abstract

Berntorplatz is on the site of the former Bern Gate, which was demolished in 1876. It was the customs house, the only gate in the city through which goods could once pass. The statue depicts the "Fulehung", a jester character from local folklore who appeared as early as the 16th century. To go up to the castle, take the passage at the foot of the tower, a little further on.
