Swiss Castles Day

Description

On the 11th Swiss Castles Day, around 30 Swiss castles and fortresses will open their doors with attractions for the whole family. At Lenzburg Castle, the focus is on the fascinating journeys of the castle’s former residents (guided tours at 11:00 a. m., 1:00 p. m., and 3:00 p. m.). To complement this theme, a leather expert will showcase handmade leather shoes and bags. Visitors can also explore 1,000 years of castle history in the museum: The living history museum, for example, invites visitors on a journey through time from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The original cells are on display in the prison, where scoundrels once languished. In the children’s museum, young castle visitors can explore secret nooks and crannies. A visit to Fauchi is an unforgettable experience: the Lenzburg Castle dragon awaits brave visitors in his cave.
