Habsburg Castle and Panorama

Situated on the picturesque Wülpelsberg, a hill near Brugg, Habsburg Castle served as the ancestral home to the Habsburg Dynasty. Today the keep is only partially preserved, but the impressive wall, a small permanent exhibition and numerous bookable tours and educational programmes still illustrate the former might and glory of the dynasty. Highlight of any visit must be the splendid view of the Habsburg's former Argovian domain. Here, history is within one’s grasp.
