Wil
The OLM of Wil offers you the following advice to discover the must-see places or activities in its region.
​
Old Town of Wil
Stroll through the beautiful old town
The old town invites you to stroll and the Hof zu Wil was the residence of the prince abbots of St. Gallen for decades. Until the dissolution of the princely abbey in 1805, Wil remained, with a small interruption, their undisputed property. The historical region between Rorschach and Wil was first mentioned in a document in 1580 under the name "Alte Landschaft". The term "Fürstenland", however, was only used from the 18th century onwards and must be attributed to the prince abbots. At that time, it was still part of the canton of Säntis. In 1803, it was incorporated into the new canton of St. Gallen.
