A bit surprising to find a cemetery so far from a village, but the place is impressive.

On Wednesdays, the restaurant Stierenberg is closed. Please also note the bus timetable. It is not very frequent.

The old town of Wil is one of the best-preserved in Eastern Switzerland and impresses with its striking silhouette on the town pond. Via historic alleys, you reach the Hof zu Wil, which was once the residence of the Prince-Abbots of St. Gallen.

The cyclist fountain is no longer there; currently, a dragon can be seen. Presumably, it's a temporary exhibition.

Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist & St. John the Evangelist - Fischingen Monastery History and Architecture According to sources from around 1200, Abbot Waltram had the first church and monastery complex built between 1138 and 1144. This Romanesque church was followed by the Gothic church, probably after a monastery fire dated 1440. Before the convent chapter decided to begin construction of a new church in 1685, Abbot Joachim summoned the Einsiedeln architect Brother Kaspar Moosbrugger, whose contribution to the planning, however, is difficult to estimate. The northern nave underwent its first alteration in connection with the Idda Chapel, built from 1704 onwards. The arcades opening onto the chapel were decorated with stucco. The extension of the church to the east and the construction of the cheerful organ choir in 1753 onwards had a more dramatic effect. which forms the transition to the spacious Baroque convent buildings from the same period. Somewhat later, the chancel was remodeled in the emerging style of early classicism. The Fischingen monastery church underwent extensive renovations between 2000 and 2008. The parish could not possibly cover the high costs of this renovation, approximately CHF 8 million, alone.
