Highlight • Castle
The first excavations on the Schlossberg took place in 1949. Between 1992 and 1999 the remains of the wall were finally renovated and the important floor of the castle chapel made of St. Urban bricks was built over with a modern protective building.

A great starting point for the Aare River Trail. The train station is right next to the castle, and there's also free parking. For example, you can take the red train from here to Solothurn and hike back along the Aare River – a beautiful route!

Beautiful castle with a small garden - pleasant short circular hike (shady in summer) to the Sängeliweiher.

NB! You walk a lot in open areas, without shelter. Better not when it's very hot! Other than that, a nice walk!

Nice view of Aarwangen Castle 🏰 on cycle route 5 and 8 Olten -> Solothurn. The castle already existed as a knight's complex at the end of the 12th century 👌🏻.
