History and Architecture+
Schloss Bürglen was built in the 13th century for the Barons of Bürglen. It consists of a keep, an elongated east wing with a stepped gable, and a short west wing dating from 1589. To the north, it is separated from the town by a moat. In 1579, the city of St. Gallen acquired the castle. Until 1798, it served as the seat of the Obervogt. Today, it houses the primary school.
