That's how they started to assemble smaller pieces together. They realised that in doing so they could make some beautiful things using different shades of colours. As the technique was expensive it was mainly reserved to religious architecture. Later during the Art Noveau period the technique was also applied to civil architecture. Nowadays, at least in Switzerland, it is mainly used in civil architecture.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12. Exterior shot of convent\u003cbr/\u003e13. Wide shot of chapel\u003cbr/\u003e14.

I discovered the contemporary vitreaux in this chapel which are very interesting from a historical point of view.\"\u003cbr/\u003e21. Tilt up from medieval tomb to vitral (stained glass window)\u003cbr/\u003e22. Close up of medieval vitral\u003cbr/\u003eMedieval stained-glass windows or 'vitreaux'  were introduced to the village of Romont in the Swiss French-speaking canton of Fribourg in the fourteenth century.\u003cbr/\u003eSince then Romont considers itself the world capital of stained glass art.\u003cbr/\u003eSince it was founded in 1240 Romont has been a local stronghold for art and culture.\u003cbr/\u003eSurrounded by lakes and mountains, the picturesque village is located on the main roads and railway lines connecting Lausanne and Fribourg where the French speaking Swiss give way to their German speaking neighbours to the east.\u003cbr/\u003eStefan Trumpler is a local historian as well as the director of Romont's local vitreaux museum.\u003cbr/\u003eHe explains that according to the legend it was back in the 12th century when the sister of a French king gave a 'vitrail' (French for stained-glass window) as a donation to a local monastery.\u003cbr/\u003eSince then Romont has become a place where artists manufacture vitreaux (plural of 'vitrail') designs both for the local region and around Europe.\u003cbr/\u003eThe local cathedral - Coll�giale Notre-Dame de l'Assomption - is a gothic style church that houses samples of vitreaux dating back to the beginning of the 14th century.\u003cbr/\u003eSome of the original vitreaux from this church were taken to the local museum and the window frames have been replaced with a variety of glass styles from the 16th century up until the modern day.\u003cbr/\u003eCity walls and watch towers still provide a Medieval feel to this town where an ancient castle looks over the Swiss Stained Glass Museum or 'Vitromusee'.\u003cbr/\u003eThe museum houses a collection of stained-glass windows from the Middle Ages to the present day.\u003cbr/\u003eIn an adjacent workshop students and visitors can watch how stained-glass artists design and make a vitrail.\u003cbr/\u003ePascale Moret is a local stained-glass artist and works both as a conservationist and as a designer of modern vitreaux.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pieces of coloured glass are assembled on top of a table and inserted by means of aluminium frames that are later welded with tin or lead.\u003cbr/\u003eMoret explains that in Medieval times the techniques weren't advanced enough to make a single large glass pane so small fragments of glass had to be assembled in order to cover a whole window.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was at this point that artists realised that in mixing different colours of glass the result was a colourful display of glass that could also be transformed into an image or a picture.\u003cbr/\u003eBack then only the Church was wealthy enough to afford such works so vitreaux became associated with religion.\u003cbr/\u003eMoret explains that it wasn't until the 19th century when the art of stain glass became associated with civil and military architecture.\u003cbr/\u003eBeyond the city walls lies the Cistercian Abbey or 'Fille-Dieu'.\u003cbr/\u003eThe original old stained-glass windows were sold at auction to pay for the maintenance of the building.\u003cbr/\u003eIn an attempt to establish Romont as an area known for both old and modern vitreaux the local authorities - with the agreement of some of the nuns - decided to replace the windows with modern style stained-glass displays.\u003cbr/\u003eIn 1996 they commissioned British artist Brian Clarke to cover the windows with a series of minimalistic non-figurative stained-glass windows that have been welcomed by only some of the nuns.\u003cbr/\u003eHortence Verthet is the mother superior of the Abbey \u003cbr/\u003eShe says she doesn't find the new vitreaux at odds with the Medieval environment of the church.\u003cbr/\u003eShe says they help her to find inspiration during her daily prayers and meditations.\u003cbr/\u003eTourists and visitors to Romont can follow the \"stained-glass trail\" that includes several chapels and churches that house both old and contemporary stained-glass windows.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is the church of St.Maurice which lies five kilometres (3.1 miles) from Romont. \u003cbr/\u003eIt houses stained-glass windows designed by Italian Painter Anselmo Francesconi in 1984 on the theme of the Passion of Jesus.\u003cbr/\u003eFabienne Porchet is a tourist following the stained-glass trail. \u003cbr/\u003ePorchet says she's going from church to church discovering different styles of vitreaux.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
