View of the Inseli, Rheinfelden (Burgstell)
Highlight • Viewpoint
The small island in the middle of the Rhine is now a popular park and bathing spot on the Rhine. Stein Castle once stood on the island. Hence, it is also called Burgstell (Burgstell). It was the residence of King Rudolf of Rheinfelden.

Albrechtsbrunnen (Fountain of Archduke Albrecht VI), Rheinfelden
Highlight • Monument
Albrechtsbrunnen on Albrechtsplatz, Rheinfelden
Archduke Albrecht VI stands proudly above the fountain and overlooks the cosy Albrechtsplatz. The popular attraction previously stood in a different place for a long time.
Named after the Austrian Archduke Albrecht VI.
The Albrechtsbrunnen was first mentioned in 1442. However, the Rheinfelden banner bearer only received his current name around a hundred years later - that of Archduke Albrecht VI (1418-1463). The fountain figure is a copy. The original, created in 1542, has been kept in the Fricktal Museum since its restoration in 1958/59.
The fountain received a new trough in 1539 and 1618, and the current double trough dates from 1850.
Albrechtsbrunnen or Spitalbrunnen.
The fountain once stood directly next to the city hospital and was therefore also called the Spitalbrunnen. The hospital and adjacent properties were demolished in 1869 in order to widen the Marktgasse to the north. Albrechtsplatz, named after the fountain and Archduke Albrecht VI, was built on part of the area that was freed up.

Rheinfelden Town Hall
Highlight • Historical Site
Rheinfelden Town Hall
Centrally located, the town hall with its impressive baroque facade, massive tower and beautiful courtyard stands in the middle of Rheinfelden's old town.
An Austrian coat of arms on a Swiss town hall?
After the town hall burned down in 1531, it was rebuilt. The tower with its crenellated crown dates back to the Zähringer period. The baroque facade from the 18th century shows the coats of arms of Austria, the county of Hauenstein, Laufenburg, Säckingen, Rheinfelden, and the Truchsessen family.
Rheinfelden belonged to the Habsburgs and thus to Austria for almost 1000 years. Today, the entire city administration is located in the historic building.
Rudolf: The King of Rheinfelden.
When you enter through the gate on the left, there is a cast of the gravestone of Rudolf von Rheinfelden († 1080). The former court and market arcades are also here.

Old Rhine Bridge, Rheinfelden
Highlight • Bridge
Rhine Bridge "Border crossing between the two Rheinfelden"
The old Rhine Bridge is a Rhine and border crossing between the two Rheinfelden. Crossing is only permitted for pedestrians, bicycles, mopeds, taxis and the local bus.
From the ferry to the bridge.
There was already a ferry in the area of today's bridge during Roman rule. The Zähringers, who expanded the market town of Rheinfelden into a town, also had a ferry connection across the Rhine. It ensured the connection to the road to the Zähringen possessions in Breisgau.
The first bridge was probably built in the second half of the 12th century, because in 1198 a citizen of Rheinfelden was referred to in a document as Heinricus de Ponte (Heinrich von der Brücke). It was therefore the oldest bridge between Constance and Strasbourg, even before the middle bridge in Basel, which was built in 1225.
Pedestrian bridge.
Except for taxis and the local bus, cars are no longer allowed to use the bridge. The crossing over the Rhine and the entire old town is reserved for bicycles at walking pace and pedestrians.
The Rhine bridge offers a wonderful view of the old town facades and the Park Hotel on the Rhine.

Old Rhine Bridge (Rheinfelden)
Highlight • Bridge
The old Rhine bridge is a Rhine crossing and simultaneously a border crossing between the two Rheinfelden towns. Crossing is permitted only for pedestrians, bicycles, mopeds, taxis, and the local bus. The first bridge here likely dates back to the second half of the 12th century, as a Rheinfelden citizen is referred to as Heinricus de Ponte (Heinrich of the Bridge) in a document from 1198. It was thus the oldest bridge between Constance and Strasbourg, even predating the middle bridge in Basel, which was built in 1225. Several sculptures can be admired around and on the bridge, offering a view of the silhouette of the old town of the Swiss Rheinfelden.

Narrenbrunnen and pergola at Oberrheinplatz, Rheinfelden (Baden)
Highlight • Monument
On both sides of the Rhine, there are two Rheinfelden: a Swiss city and a German city. Although they look a bit similar, the two cities have their own particularities. When the border was fixed after the Treaty of Lunéville and that of Pressburg in 1801 and 1805, the Rhine became the border between Baden and Switzerland. The city was divided in two at that time.

Rheinfelden Old Town, Switzerland
Highlight • Historical Site
Rheinfelden - The oldest Zähringer town in Switzerland
The town with great memories! The oldest Zähringer town in Switzerland is located directly on the quietly flowing Rhine. The historic old town enchants with large and small sights, open splendor and hidden gems.
Well-preserved remains of the former ring wall with the Messerturm, the Storchennestturm and the Obertorturm still surround parts of the old town today. The narrow streets with their picturesque corners and their meaningful names such as Rumpelgasse, Futtergasse, Kuttelgasse and Geissgasse will surprise you.
A tour of Rheinfelden - where should you start with all the large and small sights, the open splendor and the hidden gems that the Rheinfelden old town has to offer? A good starting point is the town hall, centrally located on Marktgasse, with its massive tower. The town hall has a magnificent baroque façade and a very beautiful inner courtyard.
Stroll up Marktgasse and turn left at Albrechtsplatz to the Johanniter Chapel. Go through the small gate to the banks of the Rhine, which suddenly flows majestically in front of you, look downstream at the city skyline and see for yourself: the builders of this beautiful city had taste!
