Dissenhofen

Just across the riverbank from Germany, the tiny Thurgau canton (Swiss administrative division) town of Dissenhofen retains its medieval feel. Typically Swiss in its appearance, its main streets are lined with multicoloured homes. The town’s central tower displays a whimsical clock which has a face painted with astronomy symbols representing the 12 zodiac signs. It also has a working lunar clock, which shadows the moon’s phases.
