A Cultural Historical Journey from Annecy to Turin

This two-part course series on art history takes place on June 9, 2026, diving into the world of the House of Savoy: from the shores of Lake Geneva through monumental residences, monasteries, and mountain landscapes to Turin. The evening at RW21 combines historical education with the atmosphere of an academic reading and makes European power, art, and memory history vivid.

Between Alps, Power, and Architecture

The course unfolds a precise cultural historical perspective on the stations of Annecy, Aix-les-Bains, Chambéry, the Susa Pass, and Turin. The focus is on castles, palaces, abbeys, and sacred sites that have shaped the self-understanding of the Dukes of Savoy over centuries. Thus, a literarily condensed image of a region emerges, where landscape, politics, and art are inextricably linked.

An Evening for the Curious, Students, and Culture Enthusiasts

The event is aimed at adults and seniors and offers a reading atmosphere in the best sense: concentrated, vivid, and close to the material. The course is part of the series celebrating 60 years of the Bayreuth-Annecy partnership and thus bridges the city partnership, European cultural history, and lived exchange.
