Jesuit Church

The Jesuit Church is considered one of the best baroque buildings in Switzerland. The Jesuit Church was built from 1680-1689 according to the principles of the Voralberg master builders as a Baroque unified space.

The Cathedral of St Ursus

St. Ursen Cathedral is considered the most important Swiss building of early classicism and was built in light-coloured ‘Solothurn marble’.

The clock tower

The oldest building in the town was built at the beginning of the 13th century. The bell-ringer in the helmet lantern strikes the bell with a large hammer.

11 i o'clock, now it strikes 11.

The original Solothurn clock, around 3 metres high, not only indicates Solothurn time with its 11-hour dial, but also plays the Solothurn song on 11 bells at 11, 12, 17 and 18 o'clock.

Verena Gorge and the hermitage

Just outside the city of Solothurn lies the idyllic Verena Gorge, a mystical place of power. A hermit still lives here today. The leisurely walk from the city centre to the entrance of the Verena Gorge takes around 20 minutes.

Solothurn's local mountain - Weissenstein

not only families but also hiking fans. Walking up the mountain or taking the Weissenstein cable car - both have their appeal.
