The secret capital of the Swiss Confederation
… and the conquest of Stein Castle
The historical tour highlights Baden’s rise to become the political center of the Swiss Confederacy after the expulsion of the Habsburgs. In the 15th century, the city became an important meeting place for the Tagsatzung for around 300 years where delegates of foreign powers convened. Two central landmarks of this era take center stage: Schloss Stein with its impressive view over the city and the historic Tagsatzung Hall in the town hall. The tour connects vivid history with striking architectural witnesses of a turbulent time.
