Lenzburg Castle (Schloss Lenzburg)

As visitors cross the drawbridge into the castle courtyard, they are immersed in the 1,000-year history of Lenzburg Castle. The imposing hilltop fortification was once a count’s residence, then the official seat of Bernese bailiffs, and later home to wealthy American families. Today, exhibitions and the domestic life museum show how knights and nobles lived back then. Crooks awaited their sentence in the prison. Unforgettable experiences for younger visitors include the children’s museum and the cave of castle dragon Fauchi.
