Lenzburg Castle

Schloss Lenzburg, Lenzburg

Knights' and Dragons' Castle

Lenzburg Castle is one of Switzerland’s most significant hilltop castles. Anyone who crosses the drawbridge at Lenzburg Castle is immersed in some 1,000 years of history. The living museum showcases the lifestyles of counts and knights, Bernese bailiffs, and wealthy American families. Exhibits bring to life the daily lives of noble families and knights in the Middle Ages. Meanwhile, the prison still echoes with the lamentations of crooks and scoundrels.

At the children’s museum, the youngest visitors can dress up in period costumes. A visit to the cave of Fauchi, the castle dragon, is an unforgettable experience. Museum Aargau also offers guided tours and workshops on selected topics for groups and schools. Lenzburg Castle is also known for its events and festivals, such as the Medieval Market and the Fauchifest.
