24 August 2019

The art of paper cutting is a tradition in Château-d’Oex in the Pays-d’Enhaut.

The museum du Vieux Pays-d’Enhaut shows masterworks and organises events and exhibitions.

Paper cutting was imported from the Orient.  Johann Jakob Hauswirth (1809-1871) and Louis Saugy (1871-1953) introduced this art. Several of their magnificent artworks are exhibited in the museum.
