Switzerland Castles Map - East

Eastern Switzerland and the neighbouring regions on a Castles Map at 1:200,000 published by Swisstopo in cooperation with the Swiss Society of Castles, including a booklet with an extensive index plus enlargements and/or street plans of particularly interesting areas.

Swisstopo’s two Castle Maps highlight locations of numerous castles, fortified medieval towns, fortified churches and bridges, battlefields, Roman remains, etc, both within Switzerland and in the adjoining areas of the neighbouring countries. The base is the Swiss Survey’s road map with relief shading and spot heights plus colouring for forested areas. Also shown are the rail network with stations and the country’s administrative boundaries. The maps are overprinted with the Swiss national grid and have legends in German, French and Italian only.

Each map comes in a plastic wallet, accompanied by a thick booklet listing all the monuments alphabetically by canton within Switzerland and departments/regions abroad. Information about each place is given in the main language of the locality. The booklet also includes enlargements and town plans showing in greater detail particularly interesting areas.
