Guided tour of the castle and garden
Overview
Intro
With museum director Andreas Affolter
Johann Viktor von Besenval, the patrician son of Solothurn, saw the most magnificent castles in Europe on his Grand Tour in the early 1660s. 20 years later and well on his way to becoming the most influential man in Solothurn, Besenval set about realizing his dream of building his own castle. Inspired by French and Italian models, he had a baroque work of art built just outside the town: Waldegg Castle, one of the most striking Baroque secular buildings in Switzerland, with magnificent gardens and avenues extending far into the landscape.
On the guided tour, you will discover the magnificently furnished rooms of Waldegg Castle and learn exciting stories about the former residents and their relationships with the French royal court.
