About Murifeld
Where to stay in Murifeld
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two institutions anchor the quarter. Murifeld holds the Freemasons Museum of Switzerland along with the Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen, but the beds themselves belong to the rest of Bern rather than to these streets. The choice is a practical one.
Anyone coming for the Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen will find a room more easily in central Bern and a short trip back out to Murifeld.
About Murifeld
What are the main landmarks in Murifeld?
Two names sit on the list. The Freemasons Museum of Switzerland is the quarter's collection, a specialist museum rather than a general one, and it gives Murifeld a subject of its own. The second entry is a venue.
Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen takes its name from the Wittigkofen part of the quarter and stands as the cultural address of Murifeld outside the museum.
What is the history of Murifeld?
The record here is a short one. Murifeld comes into it through two institutions rather than through old fabric: the Freemasons Museum of Switzerland, which keeps a specialist collection, and the Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen, which carries the name of the Wittigkofen ground it stands on. Bern supplies the rest.
The quarter is documented as part of the city, and its two named addresses are what the record carries under the name Murifeld.
Where is Murifeld?
Murifeld is one of the Bern quarters, with Wittigkofen and its Culture Arena among the names attached to it.
