Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RORSCHACH , a busy commercial town in the Swiss
canton
  of St Gall, situated on the
south
 -west shore of the Lake of Con-stance, and by rail 62 m. N.E. of Zurich, 10 m. S.E. of Romans-horn and 57 M. N. of
Coire
 . In 1900 its population was 9140, mostly German-speaking, while there were 5935 Romanists to 3139 Protestants. From 1408 to 1798 it belonged to the abbot of St Gall, and then to the
canton
  Santis (named canton of St Gall in 1803) of the Helvetic Republic. It has always been a
great
  commercial centre, though now superseded by
Romanshorn
  as regards the corn trade. It has many industrial establishments, of which the
chief
  is one for the manufacture of lace and
muslin. Above the town is the old convent of Mariaberg, originally built in the 15th century as a
refuge
  for the monks of St Gall against the turbulent citizens of that town, but now a
seminary
  for teachers. From Rorschach a cogwheel railway runs
south
 -
east
  in 4; M. Up to Heiden, a
village
  in the canton of Appenzell well known for its goats' whey cure. (W. A. B. C.)
