Bischofszell, Administrative center in Thurgau, Switzerland
Bischofszell is a municipality in northeastern Switzerland located where the Mettlen and Sitter rivers meet. The town combines agricultural surroundings with a historic core.
The municipality received the Wakker Prize in 1987 for preserving its architectural heritage, including medieval structures. This award recognized careful restoration and protection of traditional buildings.
The annual Rose and Culture Week festival brings rose displays and local activities into the streets. Residents use this time to celebrate their connection to traditions and local heritage.
The place is served by two train stations on the Sulgen-Gossau railway line, offering good connections to larger Swiss cities. This location makes it easy to explore the region or travel to nearby centers.
Over half the land is used for agriculture, shaping the rural character of the place. Meanwhile, forests cover roughly a quarter of the total area, creating green surroundings around the built-up zone.
