Grächwil

Grächwil is a hamlet of the municipality of Meikirch in the Swiss canton of Bern.

A number of Hallstatt period artefacts have been found in Grächwil, including an imported bronze vessel known as the 'Grächwil Hydria', found in the princely tomb of a Celtic chieftain in 1851.

The hydria is thought to originate from Laconia in Greece and its production is dated to ca.

600 BC, or the first half of the 6th century BC.

The burial is dated to c. 500 BC.
