The Frohburg town of Zofingen in the western tip of the canton of Aargau is known for its beautiful and intact old town with the moat gardens and for its "local mountain", the Heiternplatz, on which the big Heitere Open Air takes place every year. Description The old town got its current appearance in the 17th and early 18th centuries, when the medieval houses were gradually replaced by buildings in the Baroque style. The central landmark is the Zofingen town church, which has Romanesque and late Gothic parts of the building. During archaeological excavations, the remains of several previous buildings came to light, the first foundation walls were erected around the year 600. Numerous historic buildings have been renovated in recent years and now shine in new splendor. One of the focal points of all happenings in Zofingen is undoubtedly the pretty and unique old town, which is often one of the most beautiful in our country. 22 wells of Zofingen The old town of Zofingen not only impresses with its good condition, but also with its 22 flowing fountains. The best-known of these 22 fountains is the Niklaus Thut fountain, which was created in 1894 as a donation by the Swiss student association "Zofingia" to mark its 75th anniversary. But the Niklaus Thut fountain is far from the only one that has something to offer. Here are the guided tours

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
