The night of the summer solstice in 1984 was dramatic and ominous. Flames shot into the sky above Angenstein Castle, sparks flew through the thick clouds of smoke, and the old castle chapel crackled in the heat. Two precious bells, which had rung out across the valley for centuries, suddenly fell silent. When the smoke cleared, they had vanished. The residents were baffled. No one knew whether thieves had taken advantage of the confusion or whether an ancient curse had completed the work of destruction.

The Aescher Klus is the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. A wide variety of grape varieties thrive here on over 20 hectares. Numerous paths crisscross the vineyards, and it seems like every section of the vines has its own vineyard cottage. An interesting fact: In 1966, excavations at a depth of four meters uncovered the remains of grapevines that could be dated to the 3rd to 4th centuries AD.

The medieval Angenstein Castle belongs to the Canton of Basel-Stadt and is not open to the public. However, the castle can be viewed quite well from the outside, and rooms can be rented for events. The name means 'narrow stone' and comes from the narrow passageway on the site. Throughout its history, it has been burned down, destroyed, and rebuilt many times. The last fire occurred in 1984. The castle also houses rental apartments, and below it lies the Angenstein fortification – a military historical monument of national importance. Bunkers from the Second World War are visible; the painted facades were only added in the 1960s. The Muggenberg bunker complex is visible opposite.

Would be worth a tour. Along the Birs. From the Jura to the Birsköpfli. Then a visit to the Nepomuk restaurant. 😎
