Hallwyl Castle, one of the most important water-controlling ''castles'' in Switzerland, sits in the middle of the river on two artificial islands, about north of the northern end of the lake.
On the southern outskirts of Lenzburg a tunnel takes much of the flow of the Aabach under the town to rejoin the river in Niederlenz township. It was built as a relief tunnel to mitigate flooding in the town, which had been occasionally severe during the spring runoff.
