Ermitage Arlesheim
Rock gate, Diana grotto, Hermitage, Parasol Chinoise - just to name a few: A tour through the Hermitage offers countless surprises and is an unforgettable journey into bygone times. Balbina von Andlau-Von Staal, wife of the episcopal bailiff of Birseck, and her cousin, capitular Heinrich von Ligertz, created the magnificent landscaped garden called 'Solitude romantique près d'Arlesheim' in 1785, with the castle Birseck crowning the hill. Arlesheim was then part of the German Reich and was the residence of the cathedral chapter in the Prince-Bishopric of Basel. The current owner of the Hermitage is the "Foundation Ermitage Arlesheim und Schloss Birseck".
