The Habsburg

In the basement

Habsburg
Down there are some miniature models of the real castle - like it had been at its best - and lots of information on the history of the whole place

On top of the tower

Here we are on hte top floor of the watch and save tower. On clear days the view is fabulous.

on some floor

this wodden floor looks genuinly antic to me - with little cracks in it....

modest in-yard

this castle is of modest and humble build. no high expectations please! but always worth visiting.

view to the east

there some where lies Brugg - not too far.
the castle

looking up

imagine what it must have felt like working on these vineyards as paysants, knowing them nobles men were sitting in their castle eating the food and drinking the beverages the very paysants were to provide...

but on the other hand, isn't it exactly the same today?

 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.
