Königsfelden in modern daysFrom a convent to a psychiatric clinicSince 1804, Königsfelden served as a convalescent and nursing home. In 1869 more than half of the old convent buildings were demolished. It was not until 1891 that the neglected church was renovated and this lasted two years. An extensive archaeological investigation and restoration took place between 1982 and 1986. Roman remains Already at the time when the church and the convent in Königsfelden were built, remains of the Roman legionary camp had been discovered. Ever since the end of the 19th century, Pro Vindonissa, a local society, took over a leading role and began with the systematic research of the Roman remains. The large number ot artefacts led to the building of the Vindonissa-Museum in Brugg in 1912. The Königsfelden church and convent can be located not far from the former western gate of the camp. The Königsfelden festival The Königsfelden festival has given the Habsburgs’ old church of the holy sepulchre a new shine. In 1973, before the church had undergone restoration, Jean Deroc, a choreographer living in Brugg, started performances in which biblical themes were combined with classical ballet and modern dance. The performances show the intensive conflict between old and contemporary music, between classical dance and modern dance theatre. They are staged by multinational dance groups and guest choreographers and, since 1990, with the Vokalensemble Zürich.
