Lenzburg Castle
Lenzburg Castle was founded in the 12th century and Originally it was a rather modest picture - it was a residential palace and a defensive tower. At one time the fortress managed to visit the Count of Lenzburg, its founder, the German Kaiser Frederick I Barbarossa, and even the Habsburg patrimony, whose family nest was once a few kilometers from the castle. The last is the idea of erecting fortifications around the hill and creating a watch-keeping system unique for its time.
After the capture of the Canton of Aargau by the Bernese troops, which happened by 1415, Bern style buildings appeared in the fortress (in particular, Stapferhaus, where he lived city governor). You can find out more about the full interesting events, intrigues and bloody battles of the history of the castle in the local museum - the golden collection of which would be envied by any castle in Switzerland.
