Law in transition: courts and judges in the history of Thun

From blood court to district court: the exhibition at Thun Castle tells the turbulent history of justice in the town - from ancient rights, conflicts with Bern and the power over life and death to the establishment of a modern judicial system in the 19th century. In cooperation with the Burgerarchiv Thun, the museum uses original sources and archival documents to make real cases visible and give a face to the fates and voices of those once forgotten.
