Wildegg Castle is a castle in the municipality of Möriken-Wildegg in the Swiss canton of Aargau. The facility is located around eighty meters above the village of Wildegg at the end of a rocky spur of the Chestenberg, above the Bünz and the Aare.

In the first half of the 13th century, Habsburg servants had a castle built here to protect the southwest corner of the Eigenamt, the Habsburg core area, and to control a strategically important point on the Aare. It was first mentioned in a document in 1242 and was inhabited by the Trustees of Habsburg and Wildegg, a ministerial family of the Habsburgs (Wikipedia).

Founded in the 13th century by the Habsburgs and later inhabited by the noble von Effinger family, Wildegg Castle is now a residential museum. 37 living and working rooms of the noble family testify to the upscale lifestyle and the exquisite taste of the former owners. They talk about their lives in personal portraits.
