Fisibach is a village and municipality in the district of Zurzach in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

==History== While some scattered items from the Bronze Age were discovered in Fisibach, the first evidence of a settlement is a Roman era watchtower along the Rhine River. The modern village of Fisibach is first mentioned in 1050 as Fusibach. The owners of Waldhausen Castle in the hamlet of Waldhausen, granted St. Blaise's Abbey extensive landholdings around their castle in 1113. However, by the 15th century, the castle was abandoned. On a rock in the Rhine was the Schwarzwasserstelz Castle. This castle, after 1363, was in the possession of the Bishop of Constance, and from 1589 to 1831 in the hands of the Tschudi family of Glarus. In 1875 it was demolished during the construction of the Rhine Valley Railway. The railroad did not have a station in Fisibach. The owner of Schwarzwasserstelz held the low court rights over Fisibach, while the Vogt of Baden held those rights in Waldhausen and Hägelen.
