A Journey to Solothurn's Past
The Twisted Tower (in Swiss "Chrumme Durm" or German "Krummer Turm") is the oldest (unchanged) building in the beautiful town of Solothurn. It was constructed in the Middle Ages (in 1454) as a defensive tower. The tower is directly opposite Solothurn's old town on the bank of the beautiful river "Aare" and has lovely views of Solothurn (you can see the historic center, cathedral, etc..). It is worth making a trip to Solothurn which is only an hour from Zurich, 30 minutes from Bern and 45 minutes from Basel by train.
