Wildegg
About 1200 the Habsburgs allowed to establish a castle to protect the southwest corner of the own office, her central area, and to control a strategically important place to the eagles. It was mentioned 1242 for the first time in a document and was inhabited by a ministerial gender, the sewers of Wildegg. After their extinction she reached around 1348 to the Hallwyler.
After 1437 the castle changed several times the owner; from the Hallwylern about Messrs. von Gryffensee and Messrs. von Ballmoos to the town of Bern. In the end, Bern 1484 sold the Wildegg to the family Effinger from Brugg. The Effinger which also took over the court rule about lovely bank and Möriken with the castle lived here during eleven generations.
