History of the foundation

In 2008, the Pourtalès Hospital Foundation celebrated its 200th anniversary. For the people of Neuchâtel, the name Pourtalès is primarily associated with a hospital and a Cressier wine. However, many people are unaware that behind this name there was a man who, through his will, his diligence and the fortune he had built up, enabled the creation of this illustrious establishment that is the Pourtalès Hospital.

History of the de Pourtalès family

A family of French Huguenots who took refuge in Neuchâtel at the beginning of the 18th century and became citizens of Berne and Neuchâtel, the Pourtalès family distinguished themselves in many fields, including commerce, finance, diplomacy, the army, science and literature. Collecting castles throughout Switzerland and Europe and weaving a vast network of alliances, this family spread throughout Switzerland, Germany and the United States of America.
