Habsburg Castle was the namesake for the famous noble family, whose foundation stone was laid between 1020 and 1030. Anyone interested in the history of the Habsburgs can take an audio tour. In the courtyard there is a small restaurant with outdoor seating from which you can enjoy a wide view. All information about the castle is available at museumaargau.ch/schloss-habsburg.

Habsburg Castle is the cradle of the Habsburg dynasty. This is where it all began. Today, the castle is home to a great restaurant that takes up most of the castle's rooms. The complex is therefore open all year round and can be visited free of charge. However, you won't find an extensive museum or dozens of rooms here. Only the palace (tower) and the outdoor area, including the outer castle ruins, can be visited. A small shop at the sod fountain offers the opportunity to buy souvenirs, books and the like. You can even rent VR glasses that show the viewer virtually what the Habsburg once looked like. The view from up here is breathtaking, by the way. Autumn in particular has its colorful advantages. The castle can also be easily reached by car. There is a sufficiently large parking lot. Anyone who is out and about as a hiker or biker will get their money's worth in terms of the route.
