Aarburg is simply a feast for the eyes here. There is also a fine restaurant on the Aare.

The old town forms a triangle between the river and the wedge-shaped rock ledge, resulting in a natural boundary on two sides. The houses are grouped around the main square, which is also wedge-shaped. The city fortifications on the north side were not rebuilt after the city fire of 1840.

The old town is towered over by the narrow and elongated rock bar. The Aarburg Fortress is located on this. It was built at the beginning of the 12th century and was expanded into a mighty fortress during the Bernese rule. The building complex is classified as a cultural asset of national importance and is now used as a cantonal youth center.

The Reformed Church is located on a terrace between the fortress and the old town. It was built in the neo-Gothic style between 1842 and 1845 and has two steeples on the west side. Below the church, the vicarage built in 1726 leans against the rocky spur; until the city fire of 1840, the city gate led through its basement.
