February 2007: Fribourg
A medieval unity unique in Europe
Timeframes converge upon Fribourg. The old part of town proudly lines up thousands of medieval mansions hiding historical treasures set in a perfectly upkept artistic heritage. Fribourg is a modern town where exchanging viewpoints and open-mindedness will inevitably lead you to charming cafés, restaurants or to see a show.
Founded in 1157 by Duke Berthold IV of Zaehringen and sheltered from the ravages of history, Fribourg is an important volume in the complete set of Western civilization and its old town, one of the biggest Medieval architectural ensembles in Europe. Wherever you go, wherever you look, you come across a surprise, make your way through the centuries, architecture from the past and other objects made by traditional handcrafts as well as modern work. Fribourg is a city that preserves its past and remains open to the future.
