Intro
At 2 km from Orbe on the road to Yverdon, at the place called "Boscéaz" - are located the remains of a very important Roman rural domain.
This museum of local history exhibits in a house in the old town various collections of objects dating from the Neolithic to the 20th century and tells the history of Orbe and its region. Furniture, engravings and various objects, documents on the local fauna. On a site outside the museum - 2 km from Orbe on the road to Yverdon, at a place called "Boscéaz" - are the remains of a very important Roman villa. Destroyed during the invasions, the villa was used as a quarry during the Middle Ages and no superstructure remains. One can admire the remains of nine mosaics dating from the 1st to the 3rd century A.D. which form a unique ensemble in Switzerland.
