The Landvogteischloss in Baden is one of the city's most important attractions, combining culture, history and the Middle Ages in an impressive way.
The fortified tower's foundation walls date back to the 13th century and are still preserved today. Until 1798, the castle served as the official residence of the Swiss federal bailiff of Baden. In the 19th century, it was used for various purposes, including as a school, hospital and prison. Since 1913, the Landvogteischloss has housed a museum that offers impressive insights into past ways of life as part of the Baden Historical Museum. Visitors can encounter historical figures such as the bailiff and his wife, the Borsinger family in the Biedermeier parlour and a married couple from the 1930s in the rooms.
The castle is therefore not only a striking building with an eventful past, but also a vibrant cultural venue that adds a special highlight to the sights of Baden.
