Erlacherhof

Built/opened

1857

The Erlacherhof, in the center of Bern, is one of the largest privately held mansions in the city. After finishing construction in 1752, this sumptuous edifice served as the French government headquarters, the French embassy, the Swiss council chambers, and a school, and is now the official residence of the Mayor of Bern. This baroque structure is a sight to behold and well worth a visit.
