At the Solothurn Baroque Days, "Baroque" can be experienced with all the senses.
Discover, marvel and never forget: whether it's a unique treasure of pharmaceutical history - the pharmacy of the hospital nurses from 1788; whether it's the Vigier summer house - the first baroque Solothurn Türmlihaus with one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in Switzerland or the baroque paintings between lust for life and warning of death in the art museum; the Baroque Days bring past times back to life and provide a glimpse into the past. And if you are interested in life, love, suffering and vice, let Maid Marie tell you about the life of "lord and servant". The scenic tours at the Solothurn Baroque Days are up-close and personal and are sure to stir the emotions. A guided tour is also dedicated to training to become the "perfect crook with unpleasant consequences".
