Neuchâtel
Cenotaph of the Counts of Neuchâtel

This group of statues dedicated to the memory of Count Louis of Neuchâtel and his family is a cenotaph, i.e. a tomb that does not contain a body. Count Louis himself had this monument built in 1372, a year before his death. If you walk behind the cenotaph, you will find a door that leads directly to the cloister.
