St. Urban Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

The extensive Cistercian monastery of St. Urban is one of the most impressive cultural monuments in Switzerland. It was founded as early as 1194 and since then it has seen a lot: several times, parts of the buildings have been destroyed, rebuilt or rebuilt, sold and used in a wide variety of ways. Today, parts of the former monastery of Lucerne Psychiatry serve as a clinic, other rooms such as the magnificent ballroom are used for events. The library with the carved oak columns and the interior of the church are particularly worth seeing.

You can find all information about the St. Urban Monastery at st-urban.ch.

Aarwangen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Be careful, there are no bike lanes on the road over the bridge. The road is relatively narrow and drivers are often in a hurry because it is the connection to the motorway. So quickly through, right over the railway tracks and calmly through Aarwangen or comfortably over the sidewalk.

View of Aarburg Castle and Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zweiturmkirche is uniquely situated. It stands in front of the fortress Aarburg high above the Aare and is therefore visible from afar.

Zofingen Town Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Imposing large church in the heart of the old town of Zofingen. The old town itself is also worth a detour, even if it is mostly on soft cobblestones, which of course messes up the Ø :-).

The Stadtkirche Zofingen is a Reformed church building in Zofingen in the Swiss canton of Aargau. The three-aisled basilica in the Romanesque-Gothic style is considered the symbol of the city. Today's church building goes back to the founding of a canon's monastery by the Frohburgers at the end of the 11th century, which was dedicated to Saint Mauritius. Previous buildings can be traced back to the early 7th century. In the course of the Reformation in 1528, the monastery was dissolved. Today the town church is owned by the Evangelical-Reformed parish of Zofingen, which is part of the Reformed State Church of Aargau.
