Solothurn Baroque Days - Out and About with the Castle Chaplain
Overview
Intro
August 9, 2026, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Jean-Baptiste de Soucis leads a tour of his chapels at Waldegg Castle. Dramatized tour with Felix von Sury
Imagine yourself back in the year 1736: The two Besenval brothers, Johann Viktor II and Peter Joseph, sons of the castle builder, have just passed away. Waldegg Castle stands abandoned. The castle chaplain, Jean-Baptiste de Soucis, has recently taken up residence in the chaplain’s quarters.
The elderly priest has known the Besenvals and the castle since the 1680s. Back then, as a young clergyman, he would frequently travel from Alsace to Solothurn. Chaplain de Soucis has seen and experienced many things that aren’t recorded in the history books. He’ll take you on a tour of the two chapels at Waldegg Castle, drawing on his memories along the way. Because of the tour, the good chaplain had to come down from his cloud of paradise, so he can’t resist making the occasional remark about the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
