Storks have settled and built nests on a number of houses in Altreu. Stork chicks can also be observed here in mid- to late June.

Stylistically inspired by Italian Baroque architecture with elements reminiscent of French classicism, it took more than four decades to complete this impressive building due to financial constraints during construction.

Beautiful area. A visit to the Aarebeizli is a must.

From Kreuzackerquai on the south bank of the Aare, you have a beautiful view of the old town opposite. In summer, it's a popular spot for strolling and relaxing by the water.

Krummturm Solothurn The Krummturm is a medieval defensive tower in the city of Solothurn. The exact start of construction is not known, but the tower was completed in 1462/63. Although the name suggests a crooked building, this is not correct. Only the roof appears crooked from most sides. The strange roof shape is the result of the irregular pentagon of the tower's floor plan. On the lowest floor there is a 10-meter-deep dungeon in which criminals were once imprisoned. If historical walls could speak, they would have a lot to tell. This includes the Krummturm legend - a tragic love story between the carpenter and the builder's daughter.
