Freienbach, Administrative center in Canton Schwyz, Switzerland
Freienbach extends along Lake Zurich at the foot of Etzel mountain, encompassing multiple villages including Bäch, Hurden, Pfäffikon, and Wilen.
The settlement, first documented in 972 as Friginbach, developed from an agricultural community into a major financial district of Canton Schwyz.
The municipality maintains the prehistoric lakeside settlement at Hurden/Seedamm and houses the parish church of St. Peter and Paul near Lake Zurich.
The municipality operates six railway stations, with Pfäffikon SZ serving as the main transportation hub for regional and long-distance train connections.
International corporations select Freienbach as their business location due to its financial service sector and lower tax rates in Canton Schwyz.
