Spread across the 2nd floor of medieval castle Schloss Rapperswil, this moderately interesting museum was founded in 1870 by a Polish emigrant, Count Władysław Broël-Plater. It now exhibits portraits, weapons, medals, maps and sculpture highlighting Polish-Swiss relations. Admission to the museum also includes entry to the castle's tower.
