The Stey dynasty is arguably the oldest family of artists in the world. It was first documented in 1437. The story began with the son of a noble family who, out of love for a juggler, gave up his parents’ castle and his noble title and exchanged it for a circus life. Today, Circus Stey is a small and medium-sized enterprise that tours Switzerland from spring to autumn and produces the Frauenfeld Christmas Circus in winter.
