Description

Kandergrund is a municipality in the Frutigen-Niedersimmental administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
  

The area may have been lightly inhabited during the Bronze age, however the earliest documented settlement was around the Castle (now ruins) Felsenburg. Kandergrund, together with Kandersteg, is first mentioned in 1352 as der Kandergrund.[3]

During the Middle Ages, Kandergrund was politically and religiously part of Frutigen. In 1833, it finally separated and became an independent municipality. At that time, Mitholz and Kandersteg were part of Kandergrun. In 1850 a church was built in Bunderbach, and ten years later that church became the parish church of Kandergrund parish. In 1909 Kandersteg separated from Kandergrund. The population grew dramatically during construction of the Lötschberg Tunnel and the Lötschberg railway line between 1906 and 1913.
