It is primarily at the disposal of the Cantonal Council.

Host Ambros Wirth, for example, includes the potato cream soup made from the now rediscovered blue specie rara potato on the menu. In autumn, Ambros Wirth, as a passionate hunter, takes special care of the local roe deer. With ingredients such as Ribel maize from the Rhine Valley, Toggenburg mountain cheese or tree nut oil from Truttikon, the Schlössli kitchen knows how to surprise again and again.ActivitiesExperience historical, amazing, interesting things from days gone by.
