Bundesbriefmuseum

In the Bundesbriefmuseum in Schwyz, Switzerland's most famous document can be seen: the Bundesbrief of 1291 between Uri, Schwyz and Nidwalden. Today, it is probably the best-known historical document in Switzerland and was long regarded as the founding document of the Swiss Confederation. However, you will not only be informed here about this extraordinary document, but also about the history of the Old Confederation and its myths.

Swiss National Museum | Forum Schweizer Geschichte Schwyz

The Forum Schweizer Geschichte is a cultural-historical place of experience with interactive exhibitions and exciting events. With the new permanent exhibition "Entstehung Schweiz. On the way from the 12th to the 14th century", the Forum of Swiss History Schwyz shows the conditions under which the old Swiss Confederation came into being in the Middle Ages. In the temporary exhibition, in the basement of the museum, current topics are taken up and presented in a contemporary manner.

Ital Reding-Haus Schwyz

A look behind the walls of the Ital Reding Hofstatt is worthwhile. The house is one of the most impressive buildings in the Old Country of Schwyz. With its state rooms, rich interior decoration and baroque garden, it conveys the splendour of a 17th-century manor house and thus shows the building and living culture of the time. Within the enclosing wall are the manor house, the Bethlehem House and the farm building (today the cantonal library).

Historisches Museum Uri

The Uri History Museum has a permanent and a temporary exhibition. In the different exhibition rooms of the permanent exhibition, you can follow the cultural life and history of Uri from the first traces of man to life in the Middle Ages and the stagecoach to clothing and living. A wide variety of objects give you an insight into history: ecclesiastical artifacts, a collection of wooden sculptures, portraits of important historical figures, a replica of a Celtic gold treasure or an Alemanni tomb.

Tell Museum Bürglen

He is known all over the world: William Tell is the man who, under duress from the Habsburg bailiff Gessler, shot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow. In the Tell Museum in Bürglen, you have the opportunity to get to know the Swiss national hero William Tell better through an interesting collection of historical objects. The museum does not aim to prove the existence of William Tell - but to question the hero and his position in society.
