Bad Zurzach

Bad Zurzach is a spa town on the Rhine in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland and the seat of the Zurzach district. Until the end of 2021 it was a municipality in its own right, known simply as Zurzach until a referendum on 21 May 2006 approved the prefix Bad; on 1 January 2022 it merged with Baldingen, Böbikon, Kaiserstuhl, Rekingen, Rietheim, Rümikon and Wislikofen to form the new municipality of Zurzach. The town has a thermal water bath and an outdoor bathing facility, and across the river lies the German village of Rheinheim in Baden-Württemberg. Its old market town, the collegiate church of St. Verena with its treasury, and the late Roman castle Tenedo on the Kirchlibuck hill are listed as heritage sites of national significance, and the whole town is part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites. At the end of 2020 it had a population of 4,379, most of whom speak German, and the underwear brand Triumph has its global headquarters there.
