a hidden gem.... shouldn't be missed!!
It is only a short hop from the romantic moated castle to the nature reserve on Lake Hallwil. Combine history, culture and nature to create an exciting experience! Travelling through time and space with the von Hallwyl family. Throughout its eight hundred-year history, the von Hallwyl dynasty, as part of the Argovian squirearchy, distinguished itself in a variety of ways: on confederate battlefields, at European courts, in science and politics, in trade and in the world of finance. On your tour of the castle premises you will discover medieval and post medieval areas of life divided into 11 themes. By means of an audio guide, selected family members will tell you the stories of their lives. However, the ordinary people, the farmers and subjects of the Lords of Hallwyl also have a voice.

Fascinating small castle
We came for a brief stopover to this lovely watercastle in the heart of canton Aargau. Unfortunately we have not had the time to visit the inside. From the outside a fantastic group of medieval buildings worth visiting. Is this a helpful review? Then please give me a "Thumbs up Thank FrankGeisler" by clicking the button below.

Very scenic castle used for weddings
The castle Hallwyl on the Hallwiler lake in Seengen is a very scenic affair. You can walk around it as part of the hike around the lake. Also it is used for partied and weddings.
