The anabaptists archive
Description
The Anabaptists were persecuted through different forms, more or less from the start of the Reform in Zurich (16th century) till the apparition of the modern Federal State (19th century). Many Anabaptists had to leave the country, while others stayed on the Jura heights that were at that time part of the “Evêché de Bâle” till 1815. During the 20th century and beginning of the 21st, a reconciliation and memory work was done between the Anabaptists, called today Mennonites, Churches and other faiths. The archives can be visited by following the hike of the Anabaptists Path. It's an opportunity to see the difficulties and climatic conditions under which the Mennonites lived in the mountains of the Jura massif.
