Page "Aarau" Paragraph 32

The town church was built between 1471 and 1478.

During the Reformation, in 1528, its twelve altars and accompanying pictures were destroyed.

The " Justice fountain " ( Gerechtskeitbrunnen ) was built in 1634, and is made of French limestone ; it includes a statue of Lady Justice made of sandstone, hence the name.

It was originally in the street in front of city hall, but was moved to its present location in front of the town church in 1905 due to increased traffic.
