Castles in Aargau

by sinoda - last update: Jun 12, 2003

The water castle Hallwil

Hallwil
This castle is totally surrounded by water what makes really mesmerising. The oldest part dates back to the 11th c.

Nowadays it is a museum, open:

April to Octobre: Tu - So 10.00-11.30 and 13.30-17.30.
Habsburg

The Habsburg

Where the great dynasty has come from...

The remainings of Stein in Baden

This was once an important watchtower and castle high above the city of Baden. It has its pendant (Schartenfels) on the other side of the narrow valley wher the river Limmat runs through.

Absolutely magnificent view...
Ruine Stein, Baden
Lenzburg

The Lenzburg

In the middle of Aargau is this maybe most impressing and best renovated castle -

Here the north gate...

The Wildegg

A smaller but not less important castle is the Wildegg.

If you come with the Aare river from the direction of Bern then you'll encounter first the Lenzburg then the Wildegg and then Habsburg....

 I enjoyed your visits to the castles, will stay in Turgi and may get to see some of these rich in history places. Baden for a start. Thanks for your knowledge and for passing the info on.
