Propéraz bread oven

Troistorrents

The Propéraz community bread oven, built in 1663, was used several times a year to bake large batches of bread for local inhabitants and passing guests.

Thick stone walls, a small wooden door, a shingle roof topped by a chimney – the unassuming structure that stands on the Place de PropĂ©raz, Troistorrents, is a priceless remnant of a time when each village neighbourhood had their own bread oven.

Renovated once in 1842 – by 2014 the historic building was in total disrepair. In order to safeguard their heritage, the inhabitants of PropĂ©raz grouped together to found an association to renovate and re-open the bread oven. They raised over CHF 100,000 and spent 2 years on the project.

Today, the oven is opened for baking several times a year.
