Neuchatel

Neuchâtel has served as the cantonal capital in western Switzerland since the 19th century. Set on the northwestern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, the city rises from its waterfront toward the wooded folds of the Jura, while the lake opens southward across the Swiss Plateau. Its French-speaking old town is marked by the sandstone Collegiate Church and Neuchâtel Castle, a long-standing seat of regional authority. The pedestrian centre, lake promenade and harbour show how closely city life remains tied to the water, while the surrounding Jura is closely associated with Swiss watchmaking. The University of Neuchâtel adds an academic dimension to this compact cantonal centre. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Neuchâtel and Lake Neuchâtel.
