History edit

Three Polish romantic poets, Adam Mickiewicz, Zygmunt Krasiński and Antoni Edward Odyniec stayed here overnight on August 27/28, 1830.[1]

Winston Churchill spent his honeymoon in Brunnen.[2] J. M. W. Turner painted several views from Brunnen, among his late watercolours, in the 1840s.[3]

In 1947, the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature organised an international conference on the protection of nature in Brunnen.[4] It resulted in the creation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1948.[4]
