The Frohburg town of Zofingen in the western tip of the canton of Aargau is known for its beautiful and intact old town with the moat gardens and for its "local mountain", the Heiternplatz, on which the big Heitere Open Air takes place every year. Description The old town got its current appearance in the 17th and early 18th centuries, when the medieval houses were gradually replaced by buildings in the Baroque style. The central landmark is the Zofingen town church, which has Romanesque and late Gothic parts of the building. During archaeological excavations, the remains of several previous buildings came to light, the first foundation walls were erected around the year 600. Numerous historic buildings have been renovated in recent years and now shine in new splendor. One of the focal points of all happenings in Zofingen is undoubtedly the pretty and unique old town, which is often one of the most beautiful in our country. 22 wells of Zofingen The old town of Zofingen not only impresses with its good condition, but also with its 22 flowing fountains. The best-known of these 22 fountains is the Niklaus Thut fountain, which was created in 1894 as a donation by the Swiss student association "Zofingia" to mark its 75th anniversary. But the Niklaus Thut fountain is far from the only one that has something to offer. Here are the guided tours

The beautiful old Hochstudhaus with thatched roof houses the village museum of Kölliken. The museum is currently (2023) closed for maintenance work, but the house is still worth seeing. More information (source: website of the municipality of Kölliken): The "Sauzmehus" is a thatched roof house in Aargau. It was built in 1802. The owners, the Suter family, had a cantonal license to sell salt, which is why they were called "s'Sauzmes". The house is a frame construction with four high floors and was originally made entirely of wood. In 1941 the stable in Stein was renovated. The hipped roof has an area of 900 square meters and was originally thatched. In 1983 and again in 2020, the covering was renewed with 40 tons of reeds. The house has been owned by the municipality of Kölliken since 1981 and has been a museum since 1987. It shows the way of life of a wealthy farming family in the 19th and early 20th centuries, gives an insight into old handicraft techniques and conveys topics from the history of the village in Köllik.
