The castle was by far the most interesting I've seen in Switzerland. The earliest known history details the "Count of Lenzburg" living here during the Middle Ages. Later on in the 1300's the castle became a part of the Hapsburg empire by way of marriage. These days the castle is a museum, complete with a restaurant and a kids' play area.
We had a fun time at the festival. The kids got to draw pictures with real feathered quills, and then seal them with wax seals. Once inside we toured some of the interior rooms, and we found the kid's play area, where Ben and Megan got to dress up in royal outfits. The kids' favorite part of the day was trying on all the knight armor, helmets, swords, etc. We couldn't believe how heavy everything was.
