Arlesheim

Few towns in Basel-Landschaft have a history as closely tied to the former Prince-Bishopric of Basel as Arlesheim. Set between the Birs valley and the wooded slopes of the Jura, it belongs to the Basel urban area while retaining a clearly defined historic centre. After Basel adopted the Reformation, the cathedral chapter resettled here in 1679, and the Baroque Arlesheim Cathedral became the focus of its new residence. The nearby Ermitage, an 18th-century landscape garden of woodland paths, rock formations and small structures, adds another distinctive chapter to the town’s cultural setting.
