Intro
Culture and nature experience
Hallwyl Castle is one of the most beautiful moated castles in Switzerland. Just a few minutes' walk from Lake Hallwil, the imposing castle complex extends over three islands in the lake's nature reserve.
The exhibitions in the castle, which is around 900 years old, explain the history of the building and provide an insight into the lives of the former owners, the von Hallwyl family. The everyday lives of the subjects, such as farmers and millers, are also on display. Meanwhile, the eerie lamentations of the prisoners can be heard from the reading tower.
After your visit to the museum, the idyllic castle courtyard with its bistro invites you to linger. Museum Aargau offers guided tours and workshops on selected topics for groups and schools. Events (including cider days) and social and cultural events are held regularly.
