City walks The lower Old Town (takes approx. 1.5 hours) You can reach the lower Old Town by passing under the flying buttresses near the Stadthaus (City Hall). This part of Baden is considered one of the most impressive mediaeval city quarters in Switzerland. It has a splendid setting as the old barrage in the Jura gorge between the Lägern Mountains (Schartenfels) and the Schlossbergfelsen rocks. 1 Halde Up until the middle of the 19th century, all traffic used to make its way up through the steep Halde into the city and then either followed the narrow Mittlere Gasse in the direction of Mellingen or turned towards Brugg and the spa area by way of the Stadtturm (city tower). 2 Propstei / Trudelhaus This building, which still has a Gothic interior, was the home of the provost of the Baden canons from 1624 to 1875. A small wooden bridge connects the house with the church square. The house was renovated in 1821 and was the workshop of Baden sculptor Hans Trudel (1881-1958) for many years. In 1969, the Hans Trudel Haus Foundation was started up and since then, very high-calibre contemporary art has been displayed here. 3 Lange Stiege (Long Staircase) These stairs take you to the former artisan and residential quarter on Kronengasse. The city stream, which flowed near the steps, used to power three mills. 4 Haus zum Mühlengrund This house used to be called “The Executioner’s House”, as it was given to him as a home. It is not surprising that the executioner, who would have been ostracized socially, had no choice but to accept the place, which was of ill repute at the time. Turn right into Kronengasse. 5 Kronengasse The tradespeople used to live primarily on Kronengasse. The names of the houses indicate which trade each resident practiced. There were bakers, tanners, coopers, furriers, millers, smiths, tailors, rope-makers, tinsmiths, joiners, weavers, carpenters, etc. The house at Kronengasse 5 is still the site of a smithy today. 6 Hohes Siechenamtshaus (quarantine office) The mediaeval handling of disease and sickness was influenced by religion, superstition and medical tradition. Sickness was seen as a punishment from God and as the work of the devil. If people displayed strange maladies or behavioural symptoms, they were taken to the Hohes Siechenamtshaus, where it would be decided if they were allowed to continue living in society or whether they must spend the rest of their days in isolation. Walk towards the small, bare square between the houses and look out over the River Limmat. Behind the Landvogteischloss (Bailiff’s castle) in the direction of Wettingen you can see the Siechenhaus (infirmary 7 ) and St. Anna’s Chapel. 7 Siechenhaus (infirmary) A Siechenhaus, which is a type of hospice, is a place of quarantine that is usually situated somewhat outside of the city. From the 11th to the 18th century, the sick and languishing were sent here for fear of contagion. 8 St. Anna’s Chapel This chapel was built from 1482 to 1484 as a church for the Siechenhaus (infirmary). Two bells remain from the original building and in the interior, you can see two sculptures from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as two stained-glass images from 1899. 8 City walks
