Waldkirch straddles the ridge between the Sitter and Glatt valleys in the canton of St Gallen, a position that links its settled uplands with the rural country north of the city of St Gallen. Fields, dairy farms and scattered hamlets shape the municipality’s eastern Swiss character. The present municipality was formed in 1964 through the union of Waldkirch and Bernhardzell, retaining the identity of both villages. St Gallen’s Abbey District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides an important cultural reference point for the surrounding region.
