Sights in Kanton Aargau

Editor's Choice

Aargau's landscape is defined by its dense concentration of historical fortifications and Roman heritage. This collection features the ancestral seat of the Habsburg dynasty and the Vindonissa legion camp, Switzerland's only Roman camp of its kind. Highlights include the moated Hallwyl Castle, the elevated Lenzburg fortress, and the well-preserved baroque fortifications of Aarburg. These sites span two millennia, from ancient ruins and medieval hilltop keeps to late-Gothic residential castles and strategic strongholds overlooking the Aare and Rhine rivers.
