Obersimmental Museum of Local History

Since 1983, the Obersimmental Local Museum in Zweisimmen has been open to the public. The house at Kirchgasse 11 is the only such institution in our region. Those who visit our museum can look forward to encountering something special. Our house is not a museum like many others. Most of the items are not hidden in display cases and glass cabinets. They are spread throughout the building. This open presentation gives visitors the feeling of being in a lived-in home. The Obersimmental Local Museum has become a witness to ancient and modern local history.
