Its long-standing horticultural tradition has shaped the town's identity and economy for centuries, with vegetable farming remaining a vital sector. The town's historical center is a delight for history enthusiasts, featuring three well-preserved medieval gates: the Lower Gate, the Upper Gate, and the Schlachtegg Gate. Schloss Schlachtegg, a beautiful castle, is another architectural highlight and currently houses a local school.
