Ballenberg
Bern Jura tilery (18th c.)

This tile factory was built in 1763 in Péry, above Biel, not far from a clay pit and a forest, which provided the raw materials. At that time, the tiler was helped by 5 to 7 assistants. Nowadays, he is assisted in his work by visitors to Ballenberg who wish to learn about this art.
