Uster, Administrative center in Zurich Canton, Switzerland
Uster extends across 28.5 square kilometers of land, with 44.4 percent dedicated to agriculture and 27.1 percent covered by forests.
The settlement dates to 775 when it was documented as Ustra villa, while the neighboring village of Riedikon received its first mention in 741.
The St. Andreas Church, donated in 1099 by the House of Rapperswil, stands as a three-naved structure representing early religious architecture.
