簡介
Lecture by André Holenstein August 12, 2026, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Solothurn, the City of Ambassadors, and Swiss-French Relations under the Ancien Régime
Since the early 16th century, the city of Solothurn has been the seat of the French embassy to the Swiss cantons. It played a central role in the very close Swiss-French relations during the Ancien Régime. This lecture sheds light on the significance of these relations and traces the legacy left by the French embassy in Solothurn.
Lecture by André Holenstein, historian. André Holenstein is one of the foremost experts on the Swiss Confederation during the Baroque era. From 2002 to 2023, he was a full professor of early Swiss history and comparative regional history at the Institute of History at the University of Bern. Among other works, he is the author of *Mitten in Europa: Verflechtung und Abgrenzung in der Schweizer Geschichte* (In the Heart of Europe: Interconnection and Demarcation in Swiss History).
The event is organized in collaboration with the Swiss Society for 18th-Century Studies.
