Stein am Rhein

Stein am Rhein is a small town west of Lake Constance (Bodensee), in northeastern Switzerland. It's known for its preserved, half-timbered medieval houses with painted facades, clustered around Rathausplatz in the old town. On the banks of the Rhine River, St. George's Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery complex with a museum. On a hilltop overlooking the town, Hohenklingen Castle dates back to the Middle Ages.
