  • Join us in a walking tour in Lichtensteig, one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland.
    Lichtensteig was founded around 1200 by the Toggenburgers on a rock spur on the Thur. Since 1468 it has belonged to the Abbey of St. Gallen, since 1803 the district capital of Neutoggenburg. The old town has a semicircular shape and was originally protected by a moat and wall.
    The historic centre of Lichtensteig is unique. Since the 13th century, residential and commercial buildings have grown together into an organic whole that inspires architecture lovers: almost a dozen shops, restaurants and cafes invite you to stroll and browse the alleys.
    The Old Town Council building at Hintergasse 22 is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance. The entire village of Lichtensteig is designated as part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
    The historic old town of Lichtensteig was honoured in 1975 by the Council of Europe for the exemplary maintenance of the site. The preservation and beautification of the urban landscape is still very important today.
    The video was filmed in February 2022

      D bustle reminds me of d Petronas towers' bustles, it was created by d architect, cesar pelli, to add more space in d towers. D two bustles fronting d twins towers give more definition to d architecture of d iconic twins in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur. Have u been in Kuala Lumpur, d capital of Malaysia?

    Hi guys, beautiful town, almost no people in the streets but plenty of soul that walk close to us. ( Don't you considered to give the music name, like another service to the audience ?) 🇨🇭🇦🇷 Hug from Buenos Aires 🙋

      We went to Lichtensteig some hours before the beginning of the Carnival parade when there was almost no one around😄
