About Biel-Mett
What are the main landmarks in Biel-Mett?
Three things carry names here. The Omega Museum sets out the district's best-known collection, and the Calvinhouse gives Biel-Mett a building whose name points back to the Reformed tradition. The oldest layer is not a building at all.

Where is Biel-Mett?
