The Freudenau Castle ruins are idyllically situated above the banks of the Aare River near Stilli and are a silent witness to medieval history. Built around 1240 by the Habsburgs, they once served to control the river crossing and as a transshipment point for goods.

The ruins are freely accessible and easily accessible via hiking trails – a worthwhile detour for anyone seeking to combine nature and history.
