Habsburg Kings' Route

On a tour of the castle complex, you can learn all about the Habsburgs' rise to global power at six audio points.

The Habsburgs established numerous towns and individual castles in what is now the canton of Aargau during the Middle Ages. They took over numerous fortifications from their sovereign predecessors, the Lenzburgs, Frohburgs and Kyburgs, and also held court at Lenzburg and Laufenburg castles.

But who were the Habsburgs? How did they lay the foundations for a global empire, and how did they achieve royalty? The Habsburg Kings' Route tells the story of the Habsburg dynasty and their rise to global power at six audio points distributed throughout the castle.
