thumb|Mandach Mandach is a municipality in the district of Brugg in canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
==History== thumb|Aerial view (1958) The name is evidently of Roman origin (cf. Rüfenach and Zurzach), being from Late Latin (praedium) Manduccacum, "estate (belonging to) Manduccus". In 1072 the Lords of Wessenberg donated a chapel in near the modern village. However, Mandach is first mentioned in 1218 as Mandacho. The major landowners were Säckingen Abbey which possessed considerable property in Mandach and two Habsburg vassals who owned castles in the village. After the Lords of Wessenberg, the village passed into the hands of the lords of Büttikon and Heudorf. In 1468, after the siege of Waldshut, the Confederates took Mandach and added it to the Schenkenberg district. In 1518 a fire destroyed the village and in 1593 and 1668 it was ravaged by the plague. During the Protestant Reformation the village converted to the new doctrine.
