Solothurn Old Hospital – A House with History
Whether as a hospital, an orphanage, or a hostel for artisans: hospitality has remained a central characteristic of Solothurn's Old Hospital since its first mention in the 14th century. With the construction of the new Bürgerspital (Citizens' Hospital) in 1930, the Old Hospital lost its original function. As a result, the late 18th-century building complex gradually fell into disrepair and was even threatened with demolition in the early 1970s. It is thanks to the initiative of far-sighted private individuals that the Old Hospital was renovated by the municipality of Solothurn in the 1980s and gradually converted to its current use as a cultural and conference center with an adjoining restaurant and hotel.
