Stein am Rhein (in the local dialect Staa, also Lithopolis at the time of Zurich rule) is a political municipality in the so-called upper cantonal part of the canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland. Stein is primarily known for its well-preserved old town center.

Towers and gates border the old city. The witch's tower on the Schiffsländi has been documented since 1548. The “Untertor” on the west side was first mentioned in 1367 and guarded the road to Hegau. The “Obertor” is attested in 1363.
The facade paintings are of very different ages. The oldest one on the “Weisser Adler” house dates from 1520/1525, is considered the earliest surviving facade painting in Switzerland and shows, among other things, motifs from the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio and from the Gesta Romanorum.
The particularly striking wall frieze on the “Sonne” house, on the other hand, was only created in 1900 and shows the famous episode from antiquity in which the philosopher Diogenes says to Alexander the Great: Get out of the sun.
The former St. Georgen monastery is now a museum; the church is used as a town church by the Reformed community. The reformed St. John's Church in the castle is also worth noting.
The citizens' asylum is located in the former "Hospital of the Holy Spirit" from the 13th century in the upper town. After renovation between 1999 and 2002, it is used as a city archive and tourist information center.
