The Collegiate Church of St. Leodegar, with its cloister, is the oldest listed religious building in the canton of Solothurn and was first mentioned in 778 AD as the “Klösterli Werith.” It is of national historical significance and features frescoes from 1628 by Paul Wiederkehr, Romanesque arcades, and Rococo stucco work inside. Adjacent to the west side of the collegiate church is a large linden tree park with a beautiful view.
Old walls filled with new life. The Stiftskirche is meant to be a lively place—whether for musical performances, exchanging wedding vows, learning more during a guided tour, attending an exhibition or opening reception, or celebrating an anniversary. The Stiftskirche offers the perfect setting in a historic and picturesque environment.
