Klingnau Castle, Medieval castle in Klingnau, Switzerland.

The castle stands on elevated ground with outer defensive walls added in 1331, featuring multiple sections developed across different construction periods.

Founded in 1239 as the seat of the Klingen family, the castle later became a residence for the Bishop of Constance during the 14th century.

The structure maintains its status as a class B Swiss cultural property, representing the architectural heritage of the Aargau canton.

The castle, located at Dorfstrasse 1 in Klingnau, operates under the management of a foundation dedicated to its preservation.

After the Canton of Aargau acquired the castle in 1804, it served various industrial purposes before its transformation into a cultural monument.
