Welcome!

Stein am Rhein, an architectural jewel with its medieval houses in the Canton of Schaffhausen, seems like a welcoming oasis of peace and contemplation in restless times. This small town with its pretty facades, abundance of oriel windows, quiet corners, fine half-timbered houses and inviting promenade along the river bank, is the place where the River Rhine flows out of Lake Constance. In 2007 Stein am Rhein celebrated a thousand years of its existence. Today 3200 inhabitants live in the town.
