Cave of Sainte-Colombe, archaeological site of the Bronze Age, the Roman period and the Middle Ages, Archaeological cave in Undervelier, Switzerland
The Cave of Sainte-Colombe extends 30 meters deep into the rock face, featuring a 26-meter-wide entrance and reaching 7 meters in height.
Archaeological excavations in 1942 by Frédéric-Edouard Koby revealed artifacts from multiple periods, including Bronze Age pottery and Roman ceramics.
The cave contains a Christian shrine with a crucifix at its entrance and serves as a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens.
Located on the left bank of the Sorne River between Les Forges and Undervelier, the cave is accessible from the main road connecting Delsberger Basin to Bellelay.
A karst spring inside the cave creates a natural stream that flows from a stalagmite formation into a shallow basin.
