Culture and history

The Römerbrüggli is not a structure from Roman times, but an aqueduct made of rubble masonry with a tuff parapet. It was built around 1800 on behalf of Karl von Fischer (1734–1821), crossed the Amletenbach on three segmental arches and served two clay-pipe conduits leading to the nearby Campagne Eichberg. Today, only one of these conduits remains intact.

The Campagne Eichberg is a former country estate built in 1792/93 for the Bernese patrician von Fischer family, which held the postal monopoly in the Republic of Bern until 1832. The Eichbergstock is a two-storey manor house in classical forms, with the beginnings of a cour d’honneur and a south-facing garden with a semicircular end and beech parterres; it was built in 1790 according to plans by G. von Fischer.

The fountain at the Campagne Eichberg may be viewed; the buildings and gardens are on private property.
