Niklaus Thut – the city hero In the Battle of Sempach on July 9, 1386, Alt-Schultheiss Niklaus Thut and twelve Zofingen citizens fell on the side of the Habsburgs fighting against the Confederates. According to legend, Niklaus Thut saved the Zofingen Fähnlein while dying by putting it in his mouth. Only when the corpse was laid out in the home church was the pennant found on him. Niklaus Thut thus became a city hero. Today he adorns the fountain and square named after him in the old town as a statue. Source and more: https://www.zofingen.ch/geschichte/niklaus-thut.html/404

Beautiful old town with many small alleys, cafes and photo points, which is why it is worth taking this city with you on the tour.

The beautiful old Hochstudhaus with thatched roof houses the village museum of Kölliken. The museum is currently (2023) closed for maintenance work, but the house is still worth seeing. More information (source: website of the municipality of Kölliken): The "Sauzmehus" is a thatched roof house in Aargau. It was built in 1802. The owners, the Suter family, had a cantonal license to sell salt, which is why they were called "s'Sauzmes". The house is a frame construction with four high floors and was originally made entirely of wood. In 1941 the stable in Stein was renovated. The hipped roof has an area of 900 square meters and was originally thatched. In 1983 and again in 2020, the covering was renewed with 40 tons of reeds. The house has been owned by the municipality of Kölliken since 1981 and has been a museum since 1987. It shows the way of life of a wealthy farming family in the 19th and early 20th centuries, gives an insight into old handicraft techniques and conveys topics from the history of the village in Köllik.

middle Ages The tower was built between 1361 and 1363 by the Counts of Habsburg under Duke Rudolf IV of Austria. It served as a cornerstone of Zofingen's city wall and as a powder, armory and torture chamber. The Powder Tower was one of six main towers until it was softened in the 19th century, including the Water Tower, the Mint Tower and the Torture Tower. There are only a few documentary records of the history of the tower, as many documents were lost in the town fires. Todays use At the end of the 19th century, the lowest floor was rented out as an ice cellar, the upper floors remained unused due to rotten stairs and served as a shelter for pigeons and bats. In 1948, the artillery club in Zofingen and the surrounding area rented the tower and had to assume certain maintenance obligations. First there was an exterior and roof renovation, followed by an interior renovation that lasted until 1951. After a second expansion phase from 1977 to 1978, another exterior renovation took place from 1980 to 1981. In 2001, the kitchen and toilet facilities were renewed. Today, the powder tower with the powder tower room is one of the most important cultural assets in the city of Zofingen. The Pulverturmstube can be rented for events with a tower attendant present at the Zofingen Artillery Club and offers space for 30 people.
