About us

The canton of Zug boasts a rich and varied cultural heritage. As the Office for Monument Preservation and Archaeology, we are committed to protecting this heritage. Our work is guided by the  Cantonal Monument Protection Act.

 

Did you know that the oldest archaeological finds in Zug date back to the Stone Age and are over 16,000 years old? Or that the oldest preserved monument, the Zug Castle, dates back to the 12th century, while the newest listed building, the Röhrliberg school building in Cham, was truly used only from 1973?
