Two castles, one dynasty. High above the Aare valley on the Wülpelsberg stands Schloss Habsburg – the ancestral seat of the family that would later rule half of Europe. Massive 11th-century towers, an audio tour tracing the rise of the Habsburgs and sweeping views over the valley await you. Just a few minutes away by car sits baroque Schloss Wildegg, founded by the Habsburgs and home to the von Effinger family for eleven generations. Thirty finely furnished rooms, talking portraits, and above all the celebrated gardens – a rose garden, a pleasure garden and a historic kitchen garden growing nearly forgotten heirloom vegetables with ProSpecieRara – make the visit unforgettable.
We collect you at your Zurich address in a private Mercedes V-Class and drive you straight to Aargau, then comfortably between the two castles. No traffic jams, no hunting for parking, no public-transport transfers, no hiking between the sites. Nobody has to drive, so a glass of wine along the way is always an option. You enjoy the history and the views; we take care of the road. Castle admission is paid directly on site.
