Moving in Richterswil: what we pay attention to
Richterswil consists of the three localities of Richterswil, Burghalden and Samstagern and lies on the south-western shore of Lake Zurich, with a difference in elevation of around 408 to 725 metres. In the historic village centre with its listed half-timbered houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, the lanes are narrow, so access for large removal vans often requires careful advance planning. The Richterswil municipal police are responsible for no-parking zones on public land, and we take care of the application for you.
With four railway stations in the municipality, including Richterswil station, which has won several awards for its design, transport links are good – but this also means more traffic around the stations at rush hour. If you are moving in the separate locality of Samstagern, the access routes differ from those in the village centre by the lake. Around the Alt-Wädenswil ruins, the largest castle ruin in the canton of Zurich, and on the former factory site of the Zinggeler silk-twisting mill, the buildings have grown historically.
For the Private Move we clarify access and the no-parking zone with you in advance; for the Corporate relocation we coordinate the schedule with your business hours. Both with a cost ceiling, with no surprises on moving day.
