La Neuveville

La Neuveville sits on the northern shore of Lake Biel in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, where vineyard slopes of the Jura meet the water. Founded in 1312, this small French-speaking town retains a compact medieval core enclosed in part by its old defensive walls. The Tour de Rive, a square stone tower beside the lake, recalls the settlement’s fortified beginnings, while narrow streets lead between historic houses and the waterfront. Local vines belong to the Lake Biel wine-growing area, an important thread in the culture of the Bernese Jura. Lake boats link the shore with other communities, and the Jura rises immediately behind town. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on La Neuveville and Lake Biel.
