Rapperswil Oldtown, Medieval city center in Rapperswil, Switzerland
The old district extends around a castle positioned on a rocky elevation, with narrow streets leading toward Lake Zurich's northern shore.
Construction of Rapperswil Castle began in 1220, establishing a strategic point for monitoring trade routes between Zurich and Graubünden regions.
The Polish National Museum operated within Rapperswil Castle from 1870 to 1927, preserving important artifacts from Polish history.
Visitors can access multiple restaurants, shops, and accommodation facilities throughout the old town's pedestrian-friendly streets.
The district contains 15,000 rose plants of 600 varieties, displayed in gardens from June through October across multiple locations.
