ST. URSEN CATHEDRAL in SOLOTHURN, SWITZERLAND by Flury und Rudolf Architekten AGSunday, November 10th, 2013Article source: Walters-Storyk Design Group WSDG Acoustic Expertise Aids Comprehensive Restoration Effort SOLOTHURN, SWITZERLAND: Begun in 1762, and completed in 1773, the St. Ursen Cathedral has long-served as the focal point for both worship and tourism in Switzerland’s most significant baroque town. In early January 2011, a mentally disturbed person set a fire which wreaked massive damage throughout the Cathedral’s 2000 + sq. ft. congregation hall. When the smoke cleared, the entire white/gray lime rock interior, which had shone like marble for centuries, was encrusted with a foul grayish residue. The Cathedral was closed to the public and a plan for restoration developed.  St. Ursen Cathedral Exterior during restoration Photo credit: WSDG
