Best of Schaffhausen

Schaffhausen Essentials

Schaffhausen is characterized by its well-preserved medieval architecture and the circular 16th-century Munot fortress. The historic core features the Kloster Allerheiligen, a former Benedictine monastery housing a museum and the Romanesque Münster cathedral. Nearby, the Schwabentor gate stands as a remnant of the city's ancient fortifications, while the 15th-century Schillerglocke bell, which inspired Friedrich Schiller’s poetry, remains on display in the cloister garden.
