Solothurn is known as Switzerlands
finest Baroque city on account of it's fine Baroque
style town planning and the Cathedral which dominates the
towns skyline.
During the Reformation in Switzerland, Solothurn
remained Catholic and, as a result, the French ambassadors
were stationed in Solothurn. They brought the Baroque style
and money with them and promptly financed the rebuilding
of the town in the new, modern style of the time.
