The small village of Arlesheim is situated on the outskirts of the city of Basel in Switzerland. Mainly a farming
community, it contains a cathedral and a town center built in the 17th century, two castles, and a large English garden. Arlesheim is worth a visit
for its sights alone, but a must for music lovers to hear the world-famous Silbermann organ
in the cathedral.
I like history. If it is sometimes weird and wonderful, so much the better.
