OFFICE DU TOURISME DE STEIN AM RHEIN

Stein am Rhein is a charming little town in Switzerland, known for its well-preserved old town. Visitors can admire superb half-timbered houses with painted facades, for which the town was awarded the very first Wakker Prize in 1972. Not-to-be-missed sights include the Convent of St. George, one of the best-preserved late-medieval ensembles, and the Lindwurm Museum, featuring a 19th-century bourgeois interior and farm outbuildings. History buffs can also visit the Klingen castle, built in 1225, which dominates the town.
