A house for the free life of the spirit

Set on a hill in Dornach, near Basel, the Goetheanum is the international centre of the anthroposophical movement founded by Rudolf Steiner. Named after the poet and natural scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, it brings together a stage, meeting halls, studios and the sections of a school of research — a place where art, science and spiritual striving are meant to meet under one roof.
