Pfaffikon

Pfäffikon lies along the northern shore of Lake Pfäffikon in Zurich’s Oberland, where a lowland lake basin meets wooded hills and wetlands. The lake and its reed-fringed margins give the town a markedly different setting from metropolitan Zurich, while the surrounding countryside remains part of the canton’s settled, agricultural heartland. Pfäffikon Abbey, a Benedictine institution founded in 960, recalls the community’s medieval religious past; it was secularised in 1848. The town is also connected to the Zurich S-Bahn network, linking this lakeside locality with the wider canton.
