About Schosshalde
Where to stay in Schosshalde
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds here follow the museum. Schosshalde's draw is the Zentrum Paul Klee, and an address near it puts the collection, Creaviva and the sculpture park ZPK within reach without committing you to the middle of Bern. Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen is the other name here.
You suit this quarter if a residential street and the museum on your doorstep matter more than stepping straight into the centre of Bern.
About Schosshalde
What are the main landmarks in Schosshalde?
One address carries the quarter. Creaviva and the sculpture park ZPK stand in the same quarter as the Zentrum Paul Klee, and the register adds the outdoor piece Muse II to that list. Schneckenhübeli sits here too.
The Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen gives Schosshalde a second draw away from the museum.
What is the history of Schosshalde?
Ask when Schosshalde began and the sources answer with buildings. Nothing in the material gathered for the quarter fixes a charter, a first mention or a year of building, so its file is carried instead by what stands on the ground. The Zentrum Paul Klee dominates that list.
Alongside it the register holds Creaviva, the sculpture park ZPK and the Schneckenhübeli, each entered without a date, which leaves this corner of the Canton de Berne described by its institutions rather than by its past.
Where is Schosshalde?
Schosshalde covers the stretch of Bern where the Zentrum Paul Klee and the Culture Arena Bern Wittigkofen both stand, inside the Canton de Berne.
