Wiggiswil is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

History

Wiggiswil is first mentioned in 1219 as Wigersvile.[4]

The oldest trace of a settlement in the area comes from scattered prehistoric flint tools which were found around the Moossee. Roman era artifacts have been discovered in Wiggiswil village and at Seerain.[4]

Throughout its history Wiggiswil has always been dependent on the neighboring village of Deisswil bei Münchenbuchsee. Even in the 21st century, the two small municipalities share a single town council. It is part of the parish of Münchenbuchsee.[4]

In 1973 the A6 motorway was built through the municipality. The motorway connects Wiggiswil to the cities of Bern and Biel/Bienne, however, the village has remained mostly agricultural. The village is home to the famous Moospinte hotel and restaurant which is over 150 years old.[5] During World War II, Swiss commanding general Henri Guisan sometimes used the Moospinte for secret meetings with government officials.[4] The current restaurant is still very well regarded and the Gault Millau guide gives it a 16 out of 20 rating.[6]
