Architecture in Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein

The Abbey of St. Gall has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, and has plenty of impressive treasures just waiting to be discovered in its library, vaulted cellar and new exhibition hall.

Visit Munot Fortress in Schaffhausen and climb inside the tower to the battlement, the fortress platform. At the top, a view of the Rhine, the old town and the hills of eastern Switzerland awaits you.

In St. Gallen you'll find history at every turn. The city's landmark is the Convent of St. Gall with its Baroque cathedral. The convent, including the library and monastery archives, was added to the Unesco World Heritage List in 1983.

The tower of the St. Lawrence Church affords a beautiful view of the Old Town and the Abbey Precinct.
