"Festzeiten!": Religious festivals and customs

Four evenings, three castles, one abbey: Museum Aargau invites you to the event series "Festzeiten!" in 2026. Selected historical objects from the collection tell of rituals, ceremonies and festive cultures. An invitation to pause, marvel - and to reflect together on why people celebrate.

At Wettingen Abbey, the evening revolves around religious festivals, rituals and customs. This festive culture structures the year between work, fasting and celebration.

"Festzeiten!" will take place in 2026 at Wildegg, Habsburg and Hallwyl castles and Wettingen Abbey. Each of these historical locations sets its own accents and illuminates festive cultures from a new perspective with historical collection objects.

The event takes place in the Westschöpfe on the Wettingen Wettingen (opposite the Löwenscheune). There are only a few parking spaces available. We recommend arriving by public transport.
