トゥールガウの洞窟・トップ20

Of course, you can also ride past a castle on a mountain bike.

The baroque old town boasts sights such as the town hall, built between 1747 and 1750, with its rich Rococo decorations, and the 14th-century Church of St. Pelagius. The Thur Bridge, built in 1487, is one of the most important late medieval bridges in Switzerland. In the 9th century, Bischofszell was given the name Episcopalicella by its founder, Bishop Salomo. This translates as "the bishop's cell." Bischofszell Castle was the bishop's castle and dates back to the 13th century.

What you learn on a tour of the castle: After Napoleon's fall, his stepdaughter, the Dutch Queen Hortense, bought the Arenenberg castle estate in 1817 and made it her residence in exile. She renovated and furnished the magnificent salons in style. She brought her nine-year-old son Louis Napoléon with her from France, who later became the last emperor of France under the name Napoleon III. His wife, Empress Eugénie, expanded the castle to include additional salons before donating the property to the canton of Thurgau in 1906.

Beautiful view of the old town of Arbon

Hagenwil is a well-preserved, well-maintained moated castle and a worthy representative of the olden days

The heart of the Swiss Lake Constance holiday region is Arbon with its historic old town with numerous stylishly renovated houses from different eras.

Arbon probably has the most beautiful old town on Lake Constance. That's how a local explained it to me. 🥰

As of April 23, it's (still) under renovation, but will probably be finished very nicely. Fitted out in February 2025, but still not finished. Very unsightly concrete wall, how is something like that approved? October 25, still the same...
