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.

This very easy pass road from Balsthal to Gänsbrunnen is on very good asphalted surface. The climb is an average of 3-4%, in some places it might at most reach a mild 6%, very suitable for beginners to get an idea of what it is like riding up a pass. At the village of Gänsbrunnen there is the possibility to take the road up to the Binzberg where there is a restaurant bearings the same name. The other to Moutier leading down to the Gänsbrunnen Station is a very nice mild descent of 5% winding through some beautiful small villages. Traffic on this route can vary. Sometimes it is empty but on the weekend traffic picks up more. It is better to ride up in the morning on the weekend.

This fountain located on the cycleway leading through the village has freshwater located in the shade and there are several other small shops to load up on snacks and food.

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.
