The town of Rheinau, in the canton of Zurich, is 6km away from the Rhinefall, which is located in Neuhausen in the canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland. The faces of the beautiful old frame houses are reminders of the old times. Between the two curves of the Rhine you find a little island on which a monastery and a church with two steeples have been built. Legend has it that the monastery has been founded in 778. The construction of the church is documented for the years 1705-1710.
