Stone by stone: 900 years of building history

Description

Representative buildings from nine centuries are gathered at Lenzburg Castle: Bernese bailiffs had the aristocratic castle converted into an administrative seat and fortress, and around 1900 a wealthy private owner realized his idea of an ideal castle here. The museum moved into the castle in the 1980s.

On this guided tour, visitors learn to distinguish between medieval and neo-Gothic components - and find out how securely the castle stands on its rock.
