Église du Pasquart à Bienne

main German-speaking church

The 'house of the people' was built in 1929-1932 as a headquarters to the labour union. It is also a good example of the New Objectivity (Neues Bauen) architectural style. It now houses a restaurant and a congress centre.

The hotel was also built in the Neues Bauen style and as a symbol of the bourgeoisie it gives an interesting contrast to the Volkshaus opposite. Is still operated as a hotel today (see Sleep section).

Museum of contemporary arts, photography and cinema.

Over two buildings (Schwab and Neuhaus) this museum offers a variety of collections on art, watches, history, film and archaeology.

This company museum on the famous Swiss watch brand is located opposite the factory.
