Die Kronländer - Kyburg

KYBURG

The County Kyburg (now in Thurgau, Switzerland) never really belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, but was a possession of the Habsburg family in Switzerland. It was acquired by the Habsburg family in 1264. The arms are the arms of the former Counts of Kyburg.

The arms formed the base for the arms of the Canton Thurgau.
