Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps
World Heritage
Austria
🎧 Listen to Introduction
This collection of 111 small, individual sites includes remains of prehistoric pile dwellings (or stilt dwellings) in and around the Alps, built around 5000-500 BC, on the edges of lakes, rivers or wetlands. Excavations at only some of the sites have provided evidence that provides insights into life and how communities interacted with their environment during the Neolithic and Bronze Age prehistory of Alpine Europe. 56 of the sites are located in Switzerland. These settlements are a unique group of archaeological sites, well-preserved and culturally rich, and are one of the most important sources for studying early agricultural societies in the region.
