Aarberg

Aarberg is an administrative district in Switzerland's Bern Canton covering about 153 square kilometers. It brings together twelve municipalities that form this rural and partly urban area.

The district was founded between 1220 and 1225 by Count Ulrich III of Neuchâtel at a strategic river crossing. This location helped the region grow quickly into a trading center.

The region maintains local markets where people buy regional products and traditional crafts made by residents. These gatherings reflect how communities here value local skills and connections.

The district is easy to reach by public transport, especially through the railway station on the Palézieux-Lyss line. Regular buses connect the different municipalities together and with neighboring areas.

A local library holds over 12,900 books and works as an educational center for residents across all twelve municipalities. This shows how the region values learning and access to resources.
