I organized our staff outing held three times during summer time and yesterday the first group went on tour. It was a hot and sticky day - but nice all the same.
Among other places, we visited Waldegg Castle in the Canton of Solothurn. The castle was built as a summer residence between 1682 and 1690 by village major Johann Viktor von Besenval. 1865 the country estate was bought by the patrician family Sury-Büssi. Due to lack of descendants it was formed into a foundation in 1963 and now belongs to the Canton of Solothurn. Today it is a museum and serves as a wonderful place where concerts, exhibitions etc. take place.
You know how chaotic I am - my memory card did not have enough space so I could not take pics of the orangerie and the garden... I am sorry. Today I shall go to the shop to buy a new one and report on more when the next group I am guiding, goes on tour.
Keep smiling!

PS. I would like to mention Sabine Soler who gave me the idea to visit this beauty!
Thanks a lot!

What an interesting place to visit : )
ReplyDeleteChrista,
ReplyDeleteWhen you run out of space in the memory card, you can delete photos you don't need, so you make space, or, as I think you already do, you can download and file them somewhere on your desktop. You probably already know this!
The castle is very beautiful and, seeing it, has made me realize how much we don't know about Switzerland... there's certainly more to it than just watches, chocolate and cheese!
I loved seeing the interiors of the castle... Truly magnificent. Switzerland is a country to discover!
CIAO!
