Page "Biberstein" Paragraph 4

In 2005, the community celebrated the 725 years of Biberstein.

In the 13th century the Count of Habsburg-Laufenburg built a castle, Schloss Biberstein, and the surrounding village to limit the territorial expansion of the Counts of Kyburg.

The castle's position on the banks of the Aar River allowed them to collect tolls on the Aar ship traffic.

Near the castle there was also a ferry that operated between Biberstein and Rohr until the beginning of the Second World War when it was replaced with a bridge.
