Schlössli Aarau, Medieval castle in Aarau, Switzerland.
The limestone residential tower rises 25 meters high on the northeastern edge of the old town, featuring late Gothic windows and a hipped roof.
The first written record of the castle dates to 1334, when it was referred to as 'the old tower' to distinguish it from the Rore tower.
The city museum inside the castle presents '100x Aarau' exhibition, displaying 1100 objects that narrate the regional heritage through five floors.
Located at Schlossplatz 23 in Aarau, the castle underwent major renovations between 2012 and 2015 to improve visitor accessibility across all levels.
The highest tower chamber contains a camera obscura installation, offering visitors an extraordinary perspective of the surrounding landscape.
