history

St. Leonhard Chapel

The first people settled on the shores of Lake Constance as early as the Neolithic Age , which is proven by many finds. The settlement was first mentioned as Lanchasalachi in 817 . Landschlacht was an episcopal-Constance fiefdom . In the High Middle Ages, the bailiwick belonged to the barons of Güttingen and later to other families. In 1413 half of the judicial rule was sold to Hans Dürrenmüller and ten co-prisoners from Landschlacht, the other half went to the Petershausen Monastery in 1452 and to the Münsterlingen Monastery in 1486 . In 1621 the eleven owner families sold their stake in Münsterlingen Monastery, where it remained until 1798.

Landschlacht always shared the fate of the Altnau parish . The St. Leonhard Chapel, built before 1000, is decorated with Gothic frescoes .
