Lenzburg Castle

Lenzburg Castle in Lenzburg, Switzerland, is one of the oldest and most significant hilltop castles in Switzerland. The Museum Aargau museum takes visitors through 1,000 years of castle history with staged living spaces from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance and Baroque to the 20th century. Visitors explore the medieval castle complex with its courtyard, baroque garden, rose garden and the Knight's Hall built in the 14th century. A children's museum is located in the attic of the Landvogtei, and the castle offers a varied programme with guided tours and changing exhibitions.
