Porrentruy
Fountain of the Banneret

This is the Fountain of the Swiss, also known as the Fountain of the Banneret. It originally dates from 1558 and its bannerman riding a boar is wearing the colours of Porrentruy. The original statue was apparently destroyed in 1814 by supporters of France a year before the Jura joined the canton of Bern and it was not until 86 years later that the present statue was installed.
