Oldest building in Solothurn dating back to 1408.

Laurent Perroud created the Fountain of Justice in 1561, modeled on the Bernese figure, which was 18 years older. The plump, confident female figure, dressed in a yellowish, lightly skirted woman's garment, bears the symbols of justice: the executioner's sword and scales. Her blindfolded eyes show no human considerations. At her feet lie the half-length figures of the Pope, Emperor, Mayor, and Sultan, symbols of spiritual and secular power.

The crowning fountain figure depicts the bearded Samson standing on the back of the lion and overpowering it by opening its jaws.

Stylistically inspired by Italian Baroque architecture with elements reminiscent of French classicism, it took more than four decades to complete this impressive building due to financial constraints during construction.

Below the large tower clock, you can see the copper-clad canopy. The group of automatons, consisting of a knight, a king, and death, is surrounded above by a blue starry sky with a moon, and below by the Solothurn coat of arms with the imperial eagle and the dates 1545 (built) and 1883 (renovated).

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.
