Guided tour of Waldegg Castle on the topic of cleanliness and hygiene
Who bathed during the Baroque era? For what reasons did people bathe? How did bathing differ from daily hygiene? Where did people bathe, and how?
How did “ordinary” residents of Solothurn bathe, and how did the noble residents of Waldegg do so?
These and other questions will guide us on our walk through the Waldegg Castle complex. We’ll explore the 18th-century understanding of health and cleanliness, dispel a few common misconceptions along the way, and visit places that are often overlooked—or even completely missed—during a typical tour of Waldegg Castle.
Guided tour with Alessandra Reeves, castle guide
