Solothurn Baroque Days - Guided Tour of Waldegg Castle
Overview
Intro
August 9, 2026 – August 16, 2026 Daily during the Solothurn Baroque Festival: Guided tour of the Besenval family’s summer residence
Johann Viktor von Besenval, the son of a Solothurn patrician, saw the most magnificent castles in Europe during his Grand Tour in the early 1660s. Twenty years later, well on his way to becoming the most influential man in Solothurn, Besenval set out to realize his dream of owning a castle. Inspired by French and Italian models, he had a Baroque masterpiece built just outside the city gates: Waldegg Castle—one of Switzerland’s most striking Baroque secular buildings, featuring magnificent gardens and avenues stretching far into the countryside.
On this guided tour, you’ll discover the magnificently furnished rooms of Waldegg Castle and hear fascinating stories about its former residents and their connections to the French royal court.
