North Switzerland

Farmhouses in the cantons of Solothurn, Basel-Country and Basel-Town and partly in the canton of Argovia

The large houses with their arched doorways indicate fertile agriculture. The finely worked door and window surrounds are indicative of superior stonemasonry.

The Basel farmhouse is rather plain. The steep gable, which gives the house a distinguished appearance, stands out. Partial or entire façades with half-timbering can still be found in some houses.
