Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel

Literature and art in dialogue

Did you know that Friedrich Dürrenmatt was not only a renowned writer but also a talented painter? Or that the German-speaking Swiss lived in Neuchâtel for almost 40 years and also died there? You can find out all this and much more at the Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel.

Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990) became world-famous through his plays. Throughout his life, he painted and drew with great passion. «Writing was his profession, painting his passion.» The Centre Dürrenmatt allows you to get to know this lesser-known facet of the artist and presents his paintings in dialogue with his literary work.

Combine your visit to Neuchâtel with a trip to the local mountain, Chaumont. From here, you can enjoy a unique panoramic view of the Three Lakes Region and the Bernese Alps.
