2 Best Sights in Eastern Switzerland, Switzerland

The city's finest mansion dates from 1492. Its fresco facade was commissioned by the resident knight, Hans von Waldkirch. Tobias Stimmer covered all three stories with paintings on classical themes, which are now displayed in the Museum zu Allerheiligen; the reproduction of the original was made in the 1930s.

If you're interested in the Reformation, you may want to make a pilgrimage to Wildhaus's Zwinglihaus, the farmhouse where Huldrych Zwingli was born in 1484. His father was president of the village's political commune, and the house was used as a meeting place for its council. A small museum within displays some restored furniture from his time, though not from his family, and an impressive collection of period Bibles. The fire-and-brimstone preacher celebrated his first mass in the town's now-Protestant church and went on to lead the Protestant Reformation in Zürich.
