Museum director Andreas Affolter will guide you through the exhibition and take you into the world of castles.

In the 17th century, castle construction was in a state of upheaval: numerous castles were rebuilt, extended or modernized in the territory of present-day Switzerland. The appearance of the castles changed so much in the 100 years between 1600 and 1700 that one can speak of an architectural revolution.

The exhibition at Waldegg Castle opens up a broad view of Swiss castles of the 17th century: architecture, garden art and arts and crafts are examined as well as the living environments of the castle's inhabitants.
