Museum Aargau

The Aargau Museum is a wonderful collection of structures that allow visitors to understand and experience history firsthand. The museum consists of four castles (Lenzburg, Hallwyl, Wildegg, and Habsburg), the Königsfelden monastery, the Legionnaire's Path and the museum in the Roman camp of Vindonissa, the Egliswil collection center, and the industrial culture TOUR Abach. Each of the structures is a memorial to a long past. The Lenzburg castle, one of Switzerland's largest hilltop fortifications, today houses a knight and nobility museum, an original jail, and a history studio.

Needless to say, the Aargau Museum as a whole is as large as it is immersive. Every castle is surrounded by magnificent gardens and vineyards that house relics and displays from 11 generations of counts, dukes, and explorers. There are even more houses, gardens, and farms within each castle. Exhibits of ancient horticulture may be seen in the Wildegg Castle in particular.
