Wildegg Castle (Schloss Wildegg)

Schloss Wildegg, Wildegg

Baroque palace and garden experience

Wildegg Castle sits majestically on a hill, surrounded by its imposing gardens. Founded by the Habsburgs in the 13th century, the von Effinger family lived in the castle for several generations. The residential museum with its 37 living and working rooms bears witness to the sophisticated lifestyle and exquisite taste of the von Effinger family. On the tour, visitors meet former residents of the castle in talking portraits.

Below the palace, the baroque kitchen and pleasure garden stretches out on a terrace. Numerous historical varieties of different roses bloom in the rose garden. Children can dress up as knights or saddle horses in the castle barn.

Museum Aargau offers guided tours and workshops on selected topics for groups and schools. Events (including the tulip bulb and gourmet market) as well as social and cultural events take place regularly.
