This apartment is located in the oldest building in the center of Basel, built in 1284. It has a great location in the heart of the old town. It may not be able to keep up with modern times, but it leaves a mark on our lives with its unique historical value and charm. Miniature exhibition: The Fastnacht Carnival, an important cultural event in Switzerland and Basel, as well as other regional historical maps and paintings. You are welcome to feel and respect him.
