The rectory garden is part of Oltingen's Gothic church ensemble. It was redesigned in 2010 according to historically authentic elements and is open to the public.

Visible from afar, the walled church complex of St. Nicholas towers over Oltingen. St. Nicholas was first documented in 1296, and the current building dates back to the late Gothic period. During renovations in 1956, magnificent frescoes were discovered and beautifully restored. They depict, in particular, stories from the life of the church's patron saint, St. Nicholas of Myra, and the Virgin Mary. The building complex includes the rectory, also Gothic, with an adjoining, smaller ossuary dating from 1517. Adjacent to the north is the rectory barn, built in 1710.

Shaded under a linden tree, this bench offers panoramic views toward Anwil and Olten. It's an ideal resting place. The cantonal border between Aargau and Basel-Landschaft runs here. An old boundary stone from 1706 stands just a few meters away, the Baselstab (Basel Staff) in good condition.
