A striking 16th‑century fountain sculpture of an ogre devouring children in Kornhausplatz; ideal for detail shots, portraiture against historic facades, and street scenes beneath Bern’s arcades. Best visited at sunrise or blue hour for soft directional light and fewer tourists. Easy street‑level access; pay parking is limited—use Bern Hauptbahnhof (10–15 min walk) or trams. No entry fee; respect local sensitivities around the macabre motif.
