Museum Burghalde

In the Burghalde Museum, visitors embark on a journey through time. It leads from the hunters and gatherers of the Paleolithic Age to the pioneers of industrial development who founded well-known companies in Lenzburg, such as Hero, Wisa Gloria and Mammut. Exhibits, interactive stations and playful elements make 15,000 years of culture and history come alive with all the senses. The Burghalde is a stately ensemble of buildings in the middle of a secluded garden. Visitors learn about the history of the house and its inhabitants in an entertaining way in the impressive period rooms. The young visitors embark on their own tour of the museum. In a time capsule they can accompany Professor Wiesel and fly through the millennia.

Part of the Burghalde is the only icon museum in Switzerland. The collection of Prof. Dr. Urs Peter Haemmerli presents impressive icons from the 16th to the 19th century. A film introduction, a painting studio and listening stations create an easy-to-understand access to these magnificent images of faith. Various, thematic guided tours allow groups to experience the exhibition. School classes can experience the Stone Age up close in the prehistory workshop and practice prehistoric craft techniques.
