About this audio guide
This guide to the Kursaal and Casino Interlaken starts in July 1859, when thirty-three local citizens opened a whey spa and gaming rooms on old monastery grounds for the new wave of foreign visitors. It follows the Kursaal's long tangle with Swiss gambling law, and the answer its board found when a new ban in 1888 targeted games of chance in public places. Best heard from the garden, facing Paul Bouvier's domed facade.
