The 11 meter high Cristo statue towers high above Bad Ragaz in the garden of Hotel Schloss Wartenstein
High above Bad Ragaz, the eleven-metre-high replica of Cristo Redentor, the symbol of Rio, spreads its arms. Today, the statue stands in the garden of Hotel Schloss Wartenstein, which was part of the art exhibition "Bad Ragartz" in 2015. In the garden, you can enjoy the view of the valley floor as well as the Wartenstein castle ruins, which can be seen right next to it.
