Lüsslingen

Highlight • Religious Site

The first documented mention of the place was in 1251 under the name Luslingen. Later, the names Livslingen (1275), Lüsselingen (1343) and Lüsslingen (1555) appeared. The place name is derived from the Old High German personal name Liuzilo and with the suffix -ingen means something like the people of Liuzilo.
Since the Middle Ages, Lüsslingen was subject to the Buchegg lordship, which was part of the Landgraviate of Burgundy. Unlike the other places in the lordship, the village remained with Bern in 1391 and only came to Solothurn after the Reformation in 1539, where it was assigned to the Bucheggberg bailiwick. Until 1798, the Bernese district court of Zollikofen had jurisdiction, while Lüsslingen was one of the bailiwick's four courts. After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Lüsslingen belonged to the Biberist district during the Helvetic Republic and from 1803 to the Bucheggberg district.

Until December 31, 2012, Lüsslingen was a political municipality in the Bucheggberg district of the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland. On January 1, 2013, it merged with Nennigkofen to form the new municipality of Lüsslingen-Nennigkofen.

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.

View of the Krummturm, Solothurn

Highlight • Monument

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.

Aare River Promenade in Solothurn

Highlight • Settlement

Historic? But not old-fashioned. Solothurn's old town couldn't be more impressive. Romantic alleys, old cobblestones, a magnificent cathedral, excellent restaurants, and a cool shopping atmosphere that's second to none. Not renovated to death, but preserved as a livable place.
