Rorschach is a municipality, in the District of Rorschach in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. It is on the south side of Lake Constance (Bodensee). As of 2003, it had a population of 9000 (approx.) and covered an area of 1.78 km².

The place was first mentioned in 850 as Rorscahun. In 947, Otto I granted the abbot of St. Gall the right to operate markets, mint coins and levy tariffs at Rorschach.

Sights include the Kornhaus, the lake promenade, an aviation museum in Altenrhein, the Abbey of Mariaberg, as well as the castles of St. Anna, Wartensee, Sulzberg and Wartegg.

Transport

Train lines link the city to St. Gallen, St. Margrethen, and Romanshorn. A rack railway, the Rorschach-Heiden-Bahn, leads to Heiden (800m a.s.l.). In 1856, the station became the terminus of the line Zurich-St. Gallen. Formerly, train carriages were transported over Lake Constance and thus it was possible to reach Heiden from Frankfurt or Berlin without changing trains.
