Museen Werdenberg, Werdenberg
Experience 800 years of history in a unique architectural environment.
With audiovisual projections, audio tracks and vivid stagings, the exhibitions in the Werdenberg museums reflect the history of the rulers at the castle and the ordinary people in the Städtli. Endowed early on with market rights and a town wall, Werdenberg is one of the few remaining urban medieval wooden settlements in Europe and is of national importance in Switzerland's inventory of sites worthy of protection. Behind the castle walls, the rise and fall of the counts and bailiffs, the everyday life of knights and the later bourgeois owners are told. The museum Schlangenhaus in the Städtli is dedicated to the life of the Werdenberg population. During the international festival Schlossmediale, the castle becomes the center of music and art every year. Various guided tours and special events are also offered from April to October.
