Tour on the topic of cleanliness and hygiene with Alessandra Reeves

Number of places limited, registration via waldegg@dbk.so.ch

Who bathed in the Baroque era? What were the reasons for bathing? How did bathing differ from daily cleaning? Where did people bathe and how?

How did "normal" Solothurn residents and the aristocratic inhabitants of Waldegg do it?

These and other questions accompany us on our walk through the Waldegg Castle ensemble. We will encounter the contemporary understanding of health and cleanliness in the 18th century, certainly dispel one or two prejudices, and visit places that are often only noticed in passing or not at all when visiting Waldegg Castle.
