Schlossrestaurant Habsburg

The Habsburgs' historic ancestral castle, at Schlossgasse 30, 5245 Habsburg, houses the Schlossrestaurant, and the restaurant sells weddings from that address with real history. For a couple drawn to old stones and a view, it is a natural fit: a ceremony on the viewing terrace, a party in the Knights' Hall and a castle that has stood in the Aargau for centuries. Weddings sit on the restaurant's events page rather than on a separate wedding page, and the pages are in German.

A ceremony on the terrace, the party indoors

The day runs from a festive ceremony on the generous viewing terrace, which looks out over the Aargau, to a party in the evening. Indoors there are event rooms with daylight, among them the Rittersaal (Knights' Hall), rich in history, and the cozier Schlossstuben, the castle parlors. The rooms adapt flexibly to a couple's vision, and catering can be served in the rooms or out on the terrace.

Historic rooms for weddings, celebrations and seminars come with the castle, and the sun terrace is a summer favorite, with a view over the Aare and Schenkenberg valleys and the Eigenamt. It is a pleasure that you can move from an open-air ceremony to the cozy parlors without leaving the castle.

Two guest counts on one website

The restaurant's pages give two different sizes. Events run from 4 to 100 people, with terrace apéros of up to 300, and the daylight rooms suit groups of up to 100. The site's navigation menu introduces the events section as the venue for gatherings of up to 1000 people. With two figures on one site, the guest count for a wedding is a question for the events team before you commit to a date. For packages and prices, the restaurant puts together an offer matched to your needs.

Dinner with the castle's history

Because the restaurant sits inside a museum site, you can add a cultural program. Tailored side programs include historic castle tours through Museum Aargau or a knights' banquet. Museum Aargau itself offers guided tours and scenic dinner theater (Esstheater) for groups, built around stories of former castle residents. It's an unusual extra to find at a restaurant venue, and the tours come from the museum rather than from the restaurant.

A double castle finished after 1200

The castle began as a fortified farm that the Habsburgs soon expanded into a monumental double castle, completed after 1200. Rudolf I took the throne of the Roman-German Empire in 1273 as the first Habsburg to do so. The Habsburgs lost the Aargau, apart from the Fricktal, to the Swiss Confederation in 1415, and the castle has belonged to the canton of Aargau since 1804. It has been part of Museum Aargau since 2009. Visiting the castle itself is free, and castle opening hours run from late March to the end of October, with the restaurant's own hours applying in winter. For international guests, that is a story that explains itself: a family name that your relatives from abroad may already know.

Run by AARGAUHOTELS.ch, closed Mondays and Tuesdays

The restaurant is an operation of AARGAUHOTELS.ch, with the castle host, Pascal Rothmund, in charge of the team. Its regular week, as published in November 2026, is closed Monday and Tuesday, open for lunch and dinner Wednesday to Friday, and open through the day on Saturday and Sunday. A New Year break runs from 25 December 2026 to 12 January 2027, so winter wedding dates deserve an early question. Other offers include a candle-light dinner, a winter special on Sunday evenings and a voucher shop.

A partner hotel for the guests

Your guests can stay overnight at a nearby partner hotel, the Centurion Towerhotel. Hotel Bären in Suhr, a business hotel, is also linked. For guests driving in, the restaurant is placed not far from the motorway exits.

Everything on the restaurant's side is in German. The Museum Aargau site has an English version of its own pages. Nothing is stated about English-language service, travel arrangements or remote planning, so ask directly. Contact is by phone on +41 56 441 16 73 or by email through the info address on the site.
