This small Swiss town near Basel, in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, is anchored by a Baroque cathedral dating to 1681 and rebuilt in 1761, whose organ — built by Johann Andreas Silbermann and later used for a landmark recording of Bach's complete organ works — is a notable draw for music and architecture enthusiasts. Set in wine country with scenic viewpoints nearby and a café scene strong for its size, Arlesheim is also regarded as one of the more prosperous residential communities in the canton.
