Habsburg Castle
Habsburg Castle is a medieval Swiss fortress near the Aar River in the canton of Aargau that became the original seat of the House of Habsburg. Built around 1020, its large and small towers and a 13th-century residential block survive while much of the eastern complex lies in ruin; parts now host a restaurant and a small exhibition.

As it stood in 1250
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a wooded hill above the Aar plain with vineyards on the lower slopes, the castle presents a tall square keep with crenellated top attached directly to a multi-storey 13th-century residential block with a steep red-tile gabled roof and stepped gable end. Walls are light-grey coursed limestone/rubble with small grouped mullioned windows. At its prime the large and small towers, connected halls and curtain walls enclosed a complete fortified complex; eastern ranges now survive only as foundation traces.
