EN: The main post office of Aarau is located just opposite the railway station. The neoclassical monumental building with Doric columns dominates the station square.
The house was built in 1914-15 after plans by Bracher & Widmer and Marcel Daxelhoffer, and in 1980 it was expanded on the rear side.
In addition to the main post office the building also housed the administration of the District Postal Directorate. Today the Post shares the building with several other companies, but also the tax office and the city police are located here.
