Stylistically inspired by Italian Baroque architecture with elements reminiscent of French classicism, it took more than four decades to complete this impressive building due to financial constraints during construction.

This fountain located on the cycleway leading through the village has freshwater located in the shade and there are several other small shops to load up on snacks and food.

Balsthal is a great starting point leading to 4 nice low level passes (Passwang, Schelten, Hauenstein and Binzberg via Gänsbrunnen). The village itself does offer several restaurants from inexpensive bistros to 3 star restaurants as well as several fountains to fill up your water bottles.
