Life, Love & Suffering in the Middle Ages
Immerse yourself in the lives of people in the Middle Ages. Visit scenes where innocent people were denounced and witches were scorned. This tour is also suitable for school classes.
The Middle Ages.
The Roman Empire, with its vast array of knowledge, collapses with the invasion of primitive tribes from the north. A dark and science-poor time begins...
Find out which customs and idioms have their origins in the Middle Ages. And why beer experienced a revival.

Hard work & rays of hope.
The city guides take you on a journey into the dark times. The life of the common people in Rheinfelden was marked by work and fear. The influence of the church increased steadily and a monastery was also built in Rheinfelden. But there are also positive and funny stories to tell about those times: for example, there is still an outhouse in Rheinfelden today.
