In 784 the name “wazzarburuc” appeared for the first time in a document from the monastery of St. Gallen. In the 10th century, this island fortress served as a refuge for the monasteries of St. Gallen. It is believed that between 925 and 955 the Hungarians dared to attack the St. Gallen monastery fortress Wasserburg with fire and sword, but this was possibly repelled despite a fire on the foothills. Traces of the excavations carried out in 1993 indicate this.[7] This document mentions a church of Saint George, which belongs to the monastery of St. Gallen. Until 1280, the Lords of Kisslegg, as ministerials of the monastery, were responsible for the rule of Wasserburg, then the rule went to the Lords of Schellenberg for 500 silver marks. They expanded Wasserburg into a fortress as a St. Gallen fiefdom (until 1826).

Here there are great places to watch a beautiful sunset.

Above all, you have a beautiful view of Montfort Castle from here.

The headline says it all

Although lying on the (quiet) district road, it is a beautiful place with a view of the Schleinsee estate with the court chapel and the private Schleinsee. There are also benches above the farm near the water reservoir with a great view of Lake Schlein and Lake Constance, including the Säntis massif.

Super nice view of the mountains

“The magnificent ruins of Montfort located on a promontory -, the most beautiful I've ever seen." This is how Annette von Droste-Hülshoff describes the ruins of Montfort in one of her letters, but they were demolished in 1861 in favor of a “fairytale castle”. Montfort Castle, built in Moorish style in 1866, is Langenargen's magnificent landmark. Located on a small peninsula in the lake, today it is a place to dream, celebrate, dine and enjoy.

Simply wonderful Lake Constance and its panoramic view. Just let your mind wander.
