The Lakeside Village of Gletterens

Gletterens

Built in 1996 on the site of a lakeside village dating back to 3000 B.C., the Neolithic farm at Gletterens brings the prehistoric past back to life. Clay houses and straw rooves have been built here, just as they were 5,000 years ago. Archaeologists decided to create a colony
from the Neolithic era and were able to get an idea of how people lived in their "lake dwellings" from the archaeological sites at Tene.

Learning about our Neolithic ancestors



How do you light a fire without matches? How do you aim a spear? How do you paint without paints? How are leather pouches, pendants and basketwork made? These are some of the many questions you will find answers to at Lacustre in Gletterens, an authentic Neolithic lakeside settlement where you can learn all about how people lived when most of the things we take for granted had yet to be invented.
