Worb, Administrative division in Bern-Mittelland district, Switzerland
Worb is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland region that spreads across gently rolling hills with a mix of farmland, forests, and residential areas. The village has a quiet, rural character with scattered houses and settlements that blend naturally into the landscape.
The Worb area was inhabited as early as prehistoric times, as evidenced by ancient artifacts and burial sites. The castle, built before 1130, has been the area's defining landmark and was expanded and modified repeatedly over the centuries.
The Reformed Church of Worb serves as a religious focal point in the community, reflecting the area's long-standing Protestant traditions.
The village is easily reached by train, thanks to the railway station that has connected it to neighboring regions since 1859. Visitors should plan time for walks through the surrounding countryside, as the main attractions are spread across the area.
The castle has dominated the community for nearly 900 years and its walls still show traces of different construction phases from various periods. A notable feature is the residential wing added in the 17th century, which significantly changed the building's appearance.
