Romont and its region have an exceptionally strong tradition of stained-glass making, and visitors exploring the area have the opportunity to see numerous fine church windows in their architectural context.

The Gothic collegiate church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption is richly decorated with stained-glass windows from the 15th to 19th centuries, complemented by modern works by Alexandre Cingria, Yoki and Sergio de Castro. Meanwhile in the Cistercian convent church of La Fille-Dieu, Brian Clarke has created a striking masterpiece of timeless sacred art.

Vitromusée Romont.

After extensive restoration and a redesign, the Swiss Museum of Stained Glass and Glass Arts now has two sections: the art of stained-glass making, in the medieval wing of Romont castle, and the art of glass gilding, in the Fribourg wing. A glass passage links the two exceptional collections.

Tours and trails.

More than 20 villages, churches, chapels and other buildings containing masterpieces of stained-glass art by celebrated Swiss and foreign artists are linked by waymarked tours and trails, which may be followed on foot, by bicycle and by car.
