Switzerland 4K | The mysterious old town in Solothurn

The mysterious old town in Solothurn.
The clock with 11 numbers.
With its 11-hour dial, the Solothurn clock in an original design not only indicates "Solothurn time", but also plays the "Solothurn song" on 11 bells, usually at 11.00, 12.00, 17.00 and 18.00. A special characteristic of the clock is the harlequin which strikes the hours. This beautiful metal sculpture was designed by the artist Paul Gugelmann of Gretzenbach/SO.
The project promoter is the family business Trigona AG, Lengnau.
Solothurn has an illustrious past that many do not know about. And it does have quite a quirky character, too.
Solothurn is a magical town.
This is an appropriate moment to let you in on a little secret. Solothurn has this weird thing with the number 11.
Apparently, it all started as a coincidence as there happened to be exactly eleven city gates, eleven fountains, and eleven churches.
In more modern times, Solothurners started to play with this heritage. Once you know about this, it comes as no surprise that there are eleven museums or store discounts of 11%... In Solothurn, eggs are sold as a pack of 11 - plus one boiled egg!
St. Ursus Cathedral is Solothurn’s most iconic landmark.
St. Ursus Cathedral is considered the most significant Swiss building from the early neoclassical period, and was constructed using light-coloured Solothurn marble. The cathedral is also full of Solothurn’s magic number 11: three sets of 11 imposing steps lead up to the cathedral, inside, the cathedral has 11 altars, and the tower is 66 m tall (6 x 11) and has 11 bells.
The third complete reconstruction of the cathedral took place from 1762 to 1773, according to a design by Gaetano Matteo Pisoni from Ascona - lasting exactly 11 years. Pisoni’s nephew, Paolo Antonio Pisoni, managed the later years of the construction.
Eleven bells from the Kaiser foundry in Solothurn (1764-1768) hang behind large acoustic openings. The high altar by Carlo Luca Pozzi echoes the form of a sarcophagus. The cathedral treasure is stored on the ground floor of the tower.
Village fountains can be found everywhere, but virtually nowhere else do the fountains display such magnificent workmanship as at Solothurn.
Each of the 11 fountains in the town has its own story.
These are the 11 Fountains:
- Fischbrunnen / St. Ursen-Brunnen
- Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen
- Simson- Brunnen
- Maurizius-Brunnen
- Dornacher-Brunnen
- Klosterplatz-Brunnen
- Samson-Brunnen
- Moses-Brunnen
- Hintergass-Brunnen
- Georgs-Brunnen
- Franziskaner-Brunnen
The small but nice old town.
Historical? But not old-fashioned.
Solothurn's old town couldn't be more impressive.
Romantic alleys, old cobblestones, pompous cathedral, excellent gastronomy, and such a cool shopping flair that is second to none.
Not renovated to death, but kept worth living.

The more you travel, the more you see that there are so many wonderful things in the world. It can be difficult to settle for something great when you can see that there could always be something better just round the next corner. Travel can sometimes simply be about a quest for perfection.
This quest for perfection that we are looking for,we found just now in your video so the only that we have to say on you:
Huge thank you and keep going!!!!!!!

[@TheTravellingSwiss]

Thank you so so so much for the wonderful words! Means a lot to us.
