Sonnenhof Rapperswil, Shopping center in Rapperswil, Switzerland
The Sonnenhof spans 13,000 square meters across three and a half floors, containing 38 stores, service establishments, and restaurants at Zürcherstrasse 4.
Constructed by Gallintra AG over three years with initial costs of 70 million Swiss francs, the complex opened in 1978 as one of the first shopping centers in St. Gallen canton.
The center's opening slogan, 'Second Heart of Rapperswil,' reflected the influence of American shopping malls on Swiss retail development in the 1970s.
The center connects directly to Rapperswil train station and multiple bus stops, with the Migros supermarket serving as the main retail anchor since 2012.
The building stands on former city fortification grounds at the northeastern edge of Rapperswil's old town, featuring sandblasted concrete elements and colored metal sheets.
