Agnes of Rheinfelden
A guided walking tour featuring Susanne Ammann as Agnes von Rheinfelden. The princess and daughter of King Rudolf von Rheinfelden will guide you through her city and show you how she experienced the world over 900 years ago.
Agnes of Rheinfelden visits the town of her childhood.
Join Agnes as she visits Rheinfelden in the year 1111. She wants to meet her sons and notices how much has changed since her childhood at Stein Castle. She recounts what life was like at the market, shares stories about her father Rudolf von Rheinfelden, and describes life as a noblewoman in the Middle Ages. And she has many plans for the future of the town of Rheinfelden.
The history books barely mention the princess, daughter of Rudolf of Rheinfelden and later Duchess of Zähringen. Yet it was thanks to her that Rheinfelden became a Zähringen town.
Experience Susanne Ammann as Agnes von Rheinfelden.
She conceived the guided tour and will personally take on the role of the duchess. With an eye for detail and plenty of wit, she’ll bring Rheinfelden’s fascinating history to life for you.
