Museums in Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein

The Toggenburg Adventure World is every boy’s dream-come-true. In Europe’s largest hobby railway installation, old motorbikes and agricultural machines are only a few of the many attractions.

The Walser Museum ranks as a jewel in Liechtenstein's cultural crown, showcasing an important ethnographical collection devoted to the cultural history of the Walser people who settled at Triesenberg in the 13th century.

The St. Gallen Rhine Valley is one of the most beautiful hiking regions and holiday resorts in Switzerland. Its dreamlike valley location between Lake Constance, Sargans and Altenrhein attracts not only hikers and connoisseurs, but also wine lovers.

Munot has been proudly overlooking the town of Schaffhausen for well over 400 years. The tower contains the quarters of the Munot watchman, who rings the famous Munot bell for five minutes every evening at 9 p.m. – by hand, of course, just like in 1589.

The St. Gallen Collegiate Library is one of the oldest libraries in the world. It is the heart of the abbey district and immerses you in history with its large baroque hall and valuable manuscripts.

Perched high above Lake Constance and nestled in large parklands, this elegantly furnished castle was once the residence of the last emperor of France. In what is now the Napoleonic Museum, the original furnishings have been preserved, and the palace gardens have recently been restored.

The Swiss juicing and fermentation museum (Schweizer Mosterei- und Brennereimuseum) is found on Lake Constance in the canton of Thurgau, which is famous for its apples. The museum, spread over more than 1,000 square metres, portrays the journey from the orchard all the way to the bottle, providing an insight into a fruity past.
