Meeting point: Museum entrance
From 1274, Klingental Abbey developed into the largest and richest monastery in Basel. The imposing roof structure and the beams above the refectory and the monastery kitchen date from this time. Around 1500, the homely panelled parlors were installed in the Kleiner Klingental, which have been preserved to this day. The tour of the former monastery reveals impressive evidence of medieval carpentry and joinery and reveals numerous facets of the craftsmanship of bygone times. The precise dating of the beams and the roof structure provides a deep insight into history. The dendrochronologist Till Seiberth will provide an insight into these findings and his working methods.
Guided tour: Frank Löbbecke and Till Seiberth, Building Research, Cantonal Monument Preservation Basel-Stadt
Price: CHF 10.- /5.- for children and young people up to the age of 16
