Museum director Andreas Affolter guides visitors through the exhibition and takes them into the world of castles.
In the 17th century, castle construction was in a state of upheaval: numerous castles were rebuilt, extended or modernized in the territory of present-day Switzerland. These buildings are cultural monuments of the highest order. They bear witness both to the need for representation of the elite of the time and to their desire for a comfortable lifestyle. As such, they represent issues that are still relevant today.

The exhibition at Waldegg Castle opens up a broad view of 17th century Swiss castles: architecture, garden art and arts and crafts are examined, as are the living environments of the castle's inhabitants.
