The Zytglogge Postcard

The Zytglogge Postcard

The Zytglogge clocktower, Bern, Switzerland The Zytglogge, a landmark medieval clock tower located in the heart of Bern, Switzerland, has a fascinating history that spans over 800 years. Originally constructed in the early 13th century as a guard tower for the city's western gate, the Zytglogge evolved over the centuries into a symbol of civic pride and technological innovation. In the 15th century, the clock mechanism was added, transforming the tower into a clock tower. The astronomical clock, installed in 1530, not only displayed the time but also showcased various astronomical features, including the phases of the moon and the zodiac signs. The Zytglogge became a central hub for the city's social and economic activities, serving as a meeting point for merchants and a focal point for public gatherings. The Zytglogge underwent significant renovations and reconstructions in subsequent centuries, reflecting changes in architectural styles and the evolving needs of the city. The clock tower's iconic features, including the animated figurines known as the Zytglogge astronomical clock show, were added in the 16th century. The clock's intricate mechanisms and the hourly performance of the figurines, depicting various historical and mythological characters, have made the Zytglogge a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike. Today, the Zytglogge stands as a World Heritage Site and a symbol of Bern's rich history, seamlessly blending medieval charm with technological ingenuity. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the city or gather in the square below to witness the mechanical marvel of the Zytglogge in action.
