On the road with the castle chaplain

Imagine yourself in the year 1736: the two Besenval brothers, Johann Viktor II and Peter Joseph, sons of the castle builder, have just died. Waldegg Castle is deserted. The castle chaplain Jean-Baptiste de Soucis has recently taken up residence in the chaplaincy. The old priest has known the Besenvals and the castle since the 1680s. Back then, he used to come to Solothurn from Alsace as a young clergyman. Chaplain de Soucis has seen and experienced much that is not written in the history books. He takes you on a tour of the two chapels at Waldegg Castle and draws on his memories. The good chaplain had to descend from the cloud of paradise especially for the tour and therefore can't resist the odd comment about the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
