Reichenbach Castle
Reichenbach castle (''Schloss Reichenbach'') is located in Zollikofen, about 5 kilometres north of Bern. The castle was founded as a medieval fort, probably built on the site of an earlier Roman fort, on the river Aar. The medieval castle was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance. Geology of the area About 14,000 years ago, the ice age came to the end. During the ice age the area was covered with up to thick ice packs. The relatively soft sandstone and limestone rock formations north of Bern were eroded by the Aar river. Over thousands of years the Aar carved loops in the terrain, and changed direction. In the area below the castle, the river changed direction by 180 degrees. This produced a slightly elevated place which provided a good observation point up and down the river. Archaeology of the area Scattered archaeological findings suggest that the area of the Zollikofen and the nearby ''Enge'' peninsula have been i ...

It is located close to the A72 between Plauen (at c. 18 km) and Zwickau (at c. 19 km).

In 1212, it was officially named ''Richenbach'', possibly because of the many wetland basins (German: ''Bächen'') located in what is today the old town.
