Schloss Beuggen is around 750 years old and belonged for over 500 years to the Teutonic Knights. During the second half of the 18th century the buildings were renovated in the baroque style by Johann Caspar Bagnato.

The heart of this mythical place is the medieval castle with many subsidiary buildings set out in a semi-circle before it. It is only since the baroque renovations by Johann Caspar Bagnato that this castle has been called a „Schloss“(Chateau).

Schloss Beuggen lies on the section between the river power stations at Rheinfelden and Schworstadt/Ryburg. Because of this there is no public transport on this section of the river.
