Neuenegg in the Bernese Mittelland

Like Laupen, Neuenegg belongs to the state of Berne since 1324. First mentioned in 1154, it has developed over the centuries from an old Bernese village to a modern political community. The church was first mentioned in 1228 and together with other traditional buildings, it forms part of the cultural-spiritual centre of the village.

The nearby Bramberg Mountain is the site of the famous battle of Laupen on the afternoon of the longest day - the 21 June 1339 -, where Berne secured its dominance with its victory over the Western Swiss gentry and the Austrians.
