Pulverturm

This building is now a music conservatory, but it used to be a Jesuit College. Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes, once was a boarder here, and the school was also mentioned in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain.

This former church, first built in the 13th century and modified in the 17th century, is now used as a venue for contemporary art installation pieces.

For six weeks every summer this festival offers numerous concerts, including Sunday morning Jazz concerts as well as such big name acts as Calexico, Heather Nova, Tocotronic, Shout Out Louds, dEUS, Kosheen, Coldcut, and others. Additional highlights include cinema, short films, cabaret performances, poetry slams, quiz programs, fashion shows, and discussion panels.
The venues are completely rebuilt every year; designers are selected via an international architecture competition. Art and fashion competitions also enrich the festival.

This tower was built in 1482, and once had an entrance to the Ill River. This tower now also serves as a meeting place for a local club.

Hosts exhibits of contemporary modern art.
