Romanshorn is a municipality in the district of Arbon in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
It is located on the south shore of Lake Constance.
[edit] History
The oldest traces date back to the year 779 A.D. The old church represents itself to us as a witness of the past. Romanshorn was for centuries an important "outpost" for the convent of St. Gallen. Starting as a small village the number of inhabitants raised explosively as the train-station and the harbour were built and trains from Zurich arrived after 1855. With this major improvement in logistics the touristically interesting place Romanshorn was born.
A car ferry connects it to Friedrichshafen across the lake in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
