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.

Bruce Castle or Lordship House
Bruce Castle is a misnomer, a historical cheat. It is a manor house in Tottenham in London and was just plain Lordship House for most of its existence. Trying to live up to a grand name, it does have some history and even a resident ghost, as well as quite a few historical questions that need to be worked out.
