It is located on the eastern Zürichsee respectively western Obersee lakeshore in Rapperswil, a locality of the municipality Rapperswil-Jona in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Since 1870, the castle has been home to the Polish National Museum established by Polish émigrés, including the castle's lessee and restorer, Count Wladyslaw Broel-Plater. Schloss Rapperswil and the museum are listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as Class A objects of national importance.[1] for further info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil_Castle ===== The Polish Museum, Rapperswil, was founded in Rapperswil, Switzerland, on 23 October 1870, by Polish Count Władysław Broel-Plater, at the urging of Agaton Giller, as "a refuge for [Poland's] historic memorabilia dishonored and plundered in the [occupied Polish] homeland" and for the promotion of Polish interests.[1] Except for two hiatuses (1927–36, 1952–75), the Museum has existed to the present day—an outpost of Polish culture in Switzerland, a country which, over the past two centuries, has given refuge to generations of Poles. for more info. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Museum, _Rapperswil /watch/Y333B1yLZ-8L3 - RAPPERSWIL CASTLE  NORTH SWITZERLAND -TOUR INSIDE THE CASTLE - PART 2 #rapperswil #switzerland #rapperswilmuseum #ShingBase
