Habsburg, Municipality in Brugg district, Switzerland
The municipality of Habsburg extends across a hilly terrain near the Aar River, containing forests and residential areas within its boundaries.
Count Radbot constructed Habsburg Castle between 1020 and 1030, establishing it as the ancestral seat of the Habsburg dynasty that later ruled much of Europe.
The municipal coat of arms features the medieval Habsburg Castle, reflecting the continuous connection between the settlement and its historical fortress.
The municipality maintains German as its primary language, with 96 percent of its 428 residents speaking it as their main form of communication.
The original fortress walls contained a strategic observation point where a hawk was spotted, leading to the name Habsburg, meaning Hawk Castle.
