Thun-Panorama: Das Rundbild von Marquard Wocher

このスポットについて

The Basel artist Marquard Wocher created the first panorama of Switzerland in 1814. Fascinated by the Bernese Oberland, he designed a 38-metre-long circular painting of the small town of Thun and its surroundings, with views as far as the Bernese Oberland Alps. Rich in detail, this picture takes a look at everyday life in Thun 200 years ago and, with its countless stories, becomes a hidden object for young and old alike. Today, the panorama is the oldest circular picture in the world and is a deposit of the Gottfried Keller Foundation. In the 2026 season, we are offering various special tours of the panorama painting by Marquard Wocher. Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
