Nearby is a huge backlit display housing hundreds of coloured pieces of stained glass, which shows the infinite range of hues available to the contemporary designer. Talking to attendants at the museum, I learn that the damaged windows of many nearby medieval churches are being replaced not by modern-day depictions of religious themes, but wild abstracts and geometric patterns. Romont is located on the main roads and railway lines connecting Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Bern and Zurich. The area features many paths for hiking and mountain biking. There are 17 churches located within 30 km of Romont housing fine examples of stained glass.
Tours are available.
