The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited. It is a small, late Gothic-style castle in the center of Schafisheim. It is the oldest castle building in Aargau, and was originally designed as a residential building rather than as a defensive structure.

美しい城と美しい景色、イベントもあり、雰囲気を際立たせています

The unknown castle, definitely worth a stop

Mostly coming from Trostburg, I always visit Liebegg and also visit the nearby sandstone caves

水車が回り続けます。

Just across the street from Hallwyl Castle, the historic mill is clearly visible. It is open to the public and shows, in a historically beautiful way, how flour was once made from grain here. The stream that rushes past here via the lake, then over the castle, flows openly through the Mühlhaus. Since visitors usually only pay full attention to the castle, the pretty mill next door is somewhat lost. For that reason and because it is part of the history of Hallwyl Castle, I have included this place as a highlight. PS: Right next to the mill there is another building with a large glass front, in which an old barge from the 16th century is also on display, which is also open to the public. It was discovered in the castle moat during restoration work.

Schloss Schafisheim is a small, late-Gothic style castle in the center of Schafisheim. This is the oldest castle in Aargau, which was not designed as a fortification from the start, but as a residential building. The building was erected a few years after the Battle of Sempach (1386) on behalf of the Lords of Baldegg, whose ancestral seat had been destroyed by the Confederates during the turmoil of war. The exact year of construction is not known, the first documentary mention of the castle was in 1474. The building served as the residence of the holders of the jurisdiction of Schafisheim within the subject area of the city of Bern. In 1482, the Baldeggers, who were in financial difficulties, sold the castle and court rule to the Hallwylers. In 1736, after the Hallwyler line in Schafisheim had died out, the Bernese transferred ownership to the brothers Samuel and Etienne Brutel, descendants of French Huguenots who had fled Montpellier. In 1802 the castle came into the possession of the community of Schafisheim. After several changes of ownership, the castle is still privately owned today.

Very nice well maintained building. A few photos are worth it.
