Rapperswil-Jona, Lake municipality in St. Gallen, Switzerland
The municipality stretches along Lake Zurich's northern shore, featuring rose gardens, a medieval castle, and a wooden bridge connecting to Hurden.
The merger of Rapperswil and Jona municipalities in 2007 created the second-largest town in the canton of St. Gallen, with settlements dating back 5000 years.
The Polish National Museum inside Rapperswil Castle maintains collections of Polish historical artifacts and documents since 1870.
Four railway stations serve the area, with the main Rapperswil station providing regular connections to Zurich and local bus services throughout the region.
