Junction in Olten.

Idyllic spot on the riverbank of the Aare on the outskirts of Gretzenback.

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.

It couldn't be more idyllic to cycle. The path along the Aare River is balm for the soul and an absolute pleasure.

The ruin Göskon was a Erdburg (earthworks with ramparts and tower) in the territory of the municipality Obergösgen in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. It is located between the villages of Obergösgen and Niedergösgen next to a cantonal road and the Aare Canal. The complex is difficult to see because the area is overgrown with shrubbery. From the complex only the remains of earth walls and walls are preserved.

The 1986 renovated castle ruins stands on the right bank of the canal over the old confluence of the Stegbachs in the Aare. Investigations confirm that the oldest part of the foundation is a fortified settlement site from the Iron Age. The lords of Göskon later built their castle at the same place. At the beginning of the 13th century, coinciding with the construction of the castle in Niedergösgen, a new tower was built on the hill above the Aare. In 1458 the reign of Gösgen was sold to the city of Solothurn. This donated the castle anno 1471 the city of Aarau, which used parts of the castle in the same century for the construction of the new city church Aarau.

The ruin Göskon was a Erdburg (earthworks with ramparts and tower) in the territory of the municipality Obergösgen in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. It is located between the villages of Obergösgen and Niedergösgen next to a cantonal road and the Aare Canal. The complex is difficult to see because the area is overgrown with shrubbery. From the complex only the remains of earth walls and walls are preserved. The construction of the refuge is most likely due to the Iron Age. Of the five refuges [1] in the area, the one in Obergösgen is the only one on the water, and thus the only one of its kind in Switzerland. The construction of the keep should fall in the earliest times of the castle construction. The castle was the original ancestral seat of the barons of Göskon. After the castle in Niedergösgen (1230), the family castle was sold. As later owners of the castle in Obergösgen the noble and knights of Rubiswyl, of Stoffeln and Hallwyl are documented. The castle was destroyed neither in the great earthquake in 1356, nor in the Guglerkrieg in 1375, but 1471 canceled. The stones removed to build the Aarauer Stadtkirche. The ruin is located at 392 m above sea level. M. on a then (before the correction of the Aare about 1870) sharp projecting "headland", which was 20 m over the water directly at the Aare. This had completely washed away part of the east flank. This proves the undermined and one-sided crashed castle ruins. Today, as a result of the correction of the Aare, which now flows further south, undermining is eliminated, and this abandoned arm of the Aare is at present only a marshland. On the mountain side, the castle was originally protected by three barrier walls and ditches. These were destroyed during the construction of the Aare Canal around 1914. The flushing of the Aare and the weathering of the ground led over the centuries to a strong undermining of the walls, so that the whole southern wall crashed and the eastern side wall hung completely in the air. What is still preserved today resembles a mighty armchair with its sides and backrests (the surviving three walls). The tower was retrofitted to the earthworks. The floor plan of the tower was square. The outer dimensions are 9 m, 3 m wide, wall thickness also 3 m. The height of the preserved walls differs from 4 to 6 m. The foundations of the quadrangular tower, which alone was the castle, were originally placed on the solid layer of gravel. Due to the massive masonry is expected to a 2- to 3-storey tower. Inside, there were wall claddings of lime blocks from a water cistern. In 1903 the first investigations of the ruin began, 1986/1987 took place excavation and conservation (partial reconstruction). Accordingly, there was first a groundwork of the 9th / 10th. Century. Then came a first fortification with a tower, which was built after 1200. The find also contains Bronze Age ceramics and some Roman finds. Around 1954, a neolithic arrowhead was found at the ruins. When building the new road, which passes close to the refuge and bridges the Stegbach by a 13 m high filling, we came across on the other side of the Stegbach, in the protruding plateau, on some early Germanic tombs. The castle Göskon was an early medieval keep. It is known that the first castles consisted only of a residential tower, and since the small castle hill did not allow a later expansion of the castle, we have here one of the few castles that remained in the simple uranium situation or were abandoned early. Just 3 km northwest is Schloss Wartenfels (Lostorf), about 3 km east of Falkenstein Castle (Niedergösgen), and also about 3 km southwest on the Säli the New Wartburg (also called Sälischlössli) on the territory of the municipality Starrkirch-Wil Olten, to name just a few of the castles, palaces or ruins in the vicinity. Burg Obergösgen is one of the oldest in the area. Their facility as a simple keep, placed in the protection of the refugee ramparts, could already reach up in Carolingian times. Among the owners of vassal castles of the Frohburgers - such as Schloss Wartenfels, Hagberg and Wartburg bei Olten, Aarburg, Hägendorf - in fact, the free from Göskon occur almost in the earliest records (1161, Ifenthal 1145). It is obvious that the control of the waterway on the Aare played a role in the construction of the castle. The beach right on the Aare, Grundrühre called as well as the escort of the ships on the Aare are still called in 1458 as property of the rule Göskon on sale specifically. Very little has been written about the history of the castle. Johann Rudolf Rahn mentions the demolition of the castle in the Medieval Art Monuments of the Canton of Solothurn and notes that the castle Göskon was never mentioned in a document. In contrast, Walther Merz published in the Scoreboard of Swiss Antiquities in 1899, p. 31, an important document from the year 1380 from the Aargau State Archives, which the castle calls possessions. Although no document mentions the castle in Obergösgen as the property of the barons of Gösskon, it is certain that the castle was the original ancestral castle of this dynasty. The name Gösskon, (Cozinchova, Gozequovon, Gozekon, Gosincon, Goezchon, Goessikon, etc.) may originally have belonged only to the castle and the current village Obergösgen, because Niedergösgen, the later seat of the family, was called before and long after the construction the local castle always Bötzach. In 1229 Gerhard I von Gösskon asked the Schönenwerd Abbey for permission to build a castle on the rock at Bötzach, in the area of ​​the abbey. [3] In the files of the pen Schönenwerd (death book, interest slide, etc.) until well into the 14th century Bötzach still called, around 1320 z. B. the Stiftshof to Bötzach. As late as 1899, the local castle was named "Burg und Burgstall zu Bötzach, which is called Niedergösskon". Among the nuns of the monastery Schännis to Aarau appears in 1367 Verena von Bötzach. After the construction of the castle to Bötzach gradually the name of the owner was also transferred to the new castle and the difference of the former ancestral castle Niedergösgen called, as it was later, after 1383, called Falkenstein Castle, after the transition to this family. Also for the ancestral castle in Obergösgen speaks the church of Obergösgen, which is always mentioned as the property of those of Gösskon in particular. However, Niedergösgen had no village church and remained church-steeped until the latest time (1838) to Stüsslingen. The church of Obergösgen must have listened long before 1230 to the free of Gösskon when they were assigned the landlordly rights in Obergösgen. In the same way, the blood court remained in Obergösgen, even under the rule of Solothurn. The gallows probably stood in Gilgenhölzli (Galgenhölzli), opposite the castle. Documented the free from Gösskon occur only in the 12th century. On the castle Gösskon must have also lived: Bernerus de Gozequouon, who appears as a witness among the outdoors in 1161 [5] Mr. Erhart von Göschon and sin sün G. and H., which appear in the Urbar of St. Urban 1224. Gerhart I, who appears as master and among the free in 1226 and also in 1227 as Dominus de Gozekofen. Walther Merz writes about the exact documentary evidence: «This Gerhart I is the builder of the castle Niedergösgen, one of the few castles whose creation is exactly dated (1229-1230). As a colleague of Rudolf von Habsburg he seems to have played a significant role in his feuds and is threatened with the same after the raid of the Magdalenenklosters in Basel (1254) with the papal ban. Soon after the palace building in Niedergösgen, he can be borrowed with the Kastvogtei of the Abbey of Werd. A rounded property of the Gösskoner is at the time Gerhar I. not yet detectable (the court to Niedergösgen and Stüsslingen still belong to the pin). Apart from Obergösgen, where he was landlord, he seems, however, after sales and donations, etc., to close his next successors, to have held individual possessions far and wide, both in Aargau (Seon, Suhr, Reitnau, Muhen etc.) than in Sissgau (Gelterkinden ) and especially in the right-bank Werder office, which still belonged to Aargau, under the administration of Austrian ministers. After a note in Solothurn weekly paper (1821, p. 377) he was the owner of the Kastvogtei Olsberg and thus vassal of the Counts of Habsburg- Laufenburg. This results in a peculiar double position: The ancestral castle and the new castle to Bötzach lie in the county of Buchsgau, and actually appear in a documentary Gösskoner as a vassal of Froburger. As Kastvogt of Olsberg and Werd, however, Gerhart I is also a vassal of the Habsburgs and seems to have confessed to the same in much closer relationship. Due to the bidirectional ownership of the Gösskoner was gradually turned off the Aare as the border between Buchsgau and Aargau. By 1394 z. B. as belonging to the office Werd belonging in Habsburger Urbar, II, p. 747, the villages Werd, Gretzenbach, Walterswyler, Tennikon, Tullikon, Obern-Gösskon, Nidern-Gösskon and Stüsslingen. Around 1380 the same area is mentioned as a pawn of the dukes Leopold and Albrecht the Ampt ze Göskon. Until the purchase of the rule Gösskon by Solothurn 1458 was the same, mainly by the Falkensteiner, still increased to Winznau, Trimbach, Ifenthal, Erlinsbach, Kölliken, Savenwil and Uerkheim. These hints indicate that the Freiherr Gerhart I, already wealthy and influential, had become too narrow and unimportant, the simple Bergfrid in Obergösgen. Rebuilding and expansion did not allow the peculiar situation of the same. The strong, magnificently located, cozy castle on the rocky outcrop to Bötzach (Niedergösgen), however, could probably satisfy his demands. The assumption that the abandoned ancestral castle in Obergösgen had now been abandoned to decay proves to be a mistake, because the documents mentioned at the beginning prove that the castle was still inhabited 150 years later. Knight Rudolf von Hallwyl, the great-grandfather of the hero of Murten, and knight Konrad von Stopfein talk in 1373 in a document [7] the dowry of their children, Rudolf von Hallwyl and Anna von Stoffeln. Thereafter, the fiefs fell to Rubischwyl, today Rupperswil in Aarau, Rudolf von Hallwyl as a marriage tax. These fiefs, however, formed the castle to Obergösgen; Goods, court, twing, spell, people, and church set to upper-deniers; the goods, court, twing, ban and people to Hirzstall, Otwissingen and Lempach, the yard to Schwabenstall and the castle stable to Lenzburg. Rudolf had to pay to the father-in-law 600 fl. To pay those of Trostburg and Rinach 300 fl. For this purpose, Father Rudolf extended it to 500 fl. And the mother Lisa Münch 400 fl. The castle in Obergösgen including the mentioned goods had been inherited by Konrad von Stoffeln from his sister's son Johann von Rubischwyl. In the year 1380, July 19, appeared Mrs. Anna von Stoffeln and her husband, Rudolf von Hallwyl, with his father on the court day under the Sarbachen to Lenzburg. The wife Anna asked the court that its chairman Heinrich Schultheiß led to Lenzburg in place of Duke Leopold, to pronounce for the above fiefs the property community with her husband, which also happened. She referred to the above Eheberedung and called as their mistress back the castle to Obern-Gözkon, court, Twing, Banne, people and goods to Ober-Entfelden, Othmarsingen, Hirschthal and Leimbach (four Aargau villages). The other goods listed above no longer appear. [8] Thus, three owners of the castle in Obergösgen have subsequently been documented, Konrad von Stoffeln and Rudolf von Hallwyl. Already Egidius of Rubiswile, father of John of Rubischwyl and husband of the Margaret of Stoffeln [9] is to be accepted as the owner, perhaps more ancestors. An important circumstance was that among the estates of the Rubiswiler, the marriage tax of Anna von Stoffeln, except the castle in Obergösgen no goods in the rule Gösgen are called. The whole, fairly significant property is located in the Aargau, not far from Rubiswyl. Also important is the fact that in Rubiswyl itself no actual castle can be detected. Presumably, the lords of Rubiswyl bought the abandoned castle in Obergösgen as their residence from the Gösskonern. But that the heir of the castle, Rudolf von Hallwyl, has long inhabited, seems very questionable. In 1379, a year before his admission as a conjugal in possession of the castle, he bought the castle Neu-Wartburg (Sälischlössli at Olten) by Wernher von Büttikon. The family remained in his possession until 1539, while from the castle in Obergösgen now all documents are silent. How the ancestral castle has fallen back to the rule Göskon is not known. In the letter of purchase from 1458 she is not particularly mentioned, but must have come with the rule of Solothurn, because 1471, 13 years after the purchase of the rule Gösgen by Solothurn, the ruin was given away by the Solothurners to Aarau for demolition and the stones by raft led to Aarau, to build the city church. Solothurn was on top of that some relics, vertebrae and an arm of St. Mauritius along with 37 other particles of bodies from the Theban Legion. [10] Since then, the leftover, undermined foundations have gradually fallen into the depths. The ruin hidden in the bushes fell into oblivion, so that the Walser map of the canton of Solothurn from 1766 does not even know its name and calls it the same as Hagnau Castle (from the hamlet beyond the Aare). In contrast, the folk legend has preserved the memory of a former resident of the castle. On a white horse, in green hunting costume, the so-called Schlossgrüen should pass through its property at night, up to the Lostorf border, where the fields are still called "Zwing", then down to the ferry on the Aare, after the hamlet of Schachen, which still belongs to Obergösgen cross without paying the ferry money. He is said to have met some nocturnal hikers on the formerly lonely, somewhat sinister path by the castle. This legend of Schlossgrüen does not seem to be one of the most popular castle legends, but may perhaps point to a specific personality with its more pronounced local character.
