The Siebenzwingstein - also known as Sibe Zwingstei on maps - is a border point in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland, which is marked by interlocking granite blocks.
The border point marks the border between the three communities Gränichen, Teufenthal and Seon. This marks the border between three districts of the canton of Aargau: Lenzburg, Kulm and Aarau. The Siebenzwingstein lies at 607 m above sea level. M.

The name of the stone comes from the fact that seven municipalities, districts or ferrules used to meet here. A compulsory district used to consist of several villages with a common judicial system. The 7 areas were:
Kulm district: Teufenthal
Dürrenäsch (for inexplicable reasons it no longer extends to the Siebenzwingstein)
Retterswil (incorporated into the Seon community since 1898)
Lenzburg district: Seon
Aarau district: Gränichen
Liebegg (merged into the municipality of Gränichen)
Trostburg (now belongs to Teufenthal)

From today's perspective, it is not understandable why all these borders met in the middle of the Liebeggerwald at a point that is difficult to define.
