Meisterschwanden is a municipality in the district of Lenzburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
==History== thumb|left|Aerial view (1952) There were two neolithic lake side settlements, at Seerose and Erlenhölzli, near the modern Meisterschwanden. Both sites were discovered from archeological digs on the lake shore. Additionally, at the Erlenhölzli site, divers discovered traces of Pfyn culture ceramics, stone tools and several artifacts made of wood, including a bow and arrow fragment all from about 3,600 BC.
