Gasthof Sonne - For over 400 years host tradition of the Studer families.

The Restaurant Sonne is managed by Stephan and Beatrice Studer-Bucher in the 12th "Sonnen-Wirt" generation. Christian Studer, the ancestor of the "Sonnenwirte" in Niederbuchsiten, built the "Sonne" in the year 1600 as the first tavern in the upper village. In 1619, the same Christian, as his village name was, had the bailiff Hans Wilhelm Kallenberg on Bechburg ask the government to allow him to serve and sell wine. On May 17, 1619, the Schultheiss and the Council of Solothurn announced that Christen Studer would receive this requested half wine serving right. He and his son Ulrich Studer were fellow citizens and neighbors of the legendary peasant leader Adam Zeltner.

From the village tavern to the inn

On October 29, 1760, the tavern right was newly documented, in that "the subject Jacob Studer of Niederbuchsiten may accommodate strangers and locals in the public inn and tavern and provide them with food and drink". Finally, he was also granted the right to display a sign with a golden sun on a blue field at his inn. The original tavern letter with a large town seal in a wooden capsule is in the possession of the Studer family. A reproduction with the wording of the tavern letter and a beautifully calligraphed inn history are displayed in a showcase by the inn entrance.

Stephan and Beatrice Studer-Bucher took over the inn at the beginning of 1997 in the 12th generation, after their parents, Paul and Bertha Studer-Ingold, had previously run the storied "Sonne" for nearly 30 years. The Gasthof was not only modernized and expanded, but also expanded through gastronomic performance with a lot of skill, care and love and the Sonne was transformed from a Beiz to a favored inn.

The 400th anniversary of the innkeeping tradition of a single family encouraged the present innkeepers to set an architectural accent in the guest area with the construction of a winter garden in 2001.

In the summer of 2010 the restaurant, parlor and hall on the first floor were again renovated and rebuilt. The two newly installed windows in the Stübli on the east side are arranged as requested by the preservation of historical monuments and allow plenty of light to flood through the guest rooms.

A lot of joy in gastronomy and always new creative ideas of the host family make the Gasthof Sonne a distinctive experience for private, club and business events.
A must for gourmets who not only like to eat, but also want to combine this with a cozy and familiar environment.
