«Here it was not forbidden to be Anabaptist»
Jeanguisboden Chapel
May 10 to November 2 2025
To mark the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement, the Swiss Anabaptist Heritage Foundation is hosting an exhibition at the Jeanguisboden chapel, focusing on the Anabaptists in the Jura. The exhibition highlights the daily lives of these communities and their connection to faith through crafts and art.
The displayed objects come from the Evangelical Mennonite Community of Sonnenberg and the Conference of the Mennonites of Switzerland, as well as from private collections. Also on display is art from Collection Maeder & Studer.
The ‘Anabaptist Simon Gerber’ station, part of the 2024 On the move across the world theme trail developed by the Ballenberg Museum and Helvetas, is also featured.
