Mellingen

Mellingen is located in the canton of Aargau along the Reuss River and impresses with its well-preserved medieval old town. The historical center is arranged in a triangular layout along the left bank of the river. The main street connects Lindenplatz to the Reuss Bridge and is lined with charming alleys. Notable sights include the clock tower with its elaborate dial and the Lenzburg Gate, the only remaining city gate in Aargau. The town church from the 17th century and the Iberghof, a former noble residence, testify to the long history of the place. Mellingen offers an appealing mix of historical charm and natural surroundings. The location is a starting point for the popular boat tours on the Reuss.

“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
