Sax-Forstegg

The Lordship of Sax-Forstegg was a territory in the Alpine Rhine Valley, including the settlements of Sennwald and Altstätten, now part of the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland.

It was created with the division of the old Lordship of Sax into Hohensax and Frischenberg in the late 14th century.

Baron Ulrich VII von Sax received the villages of Frischenberg and Lienz as a gift from the Confederacy in 1490.

He was a successful military commander on the side of the Confederacy in the Swabian War of 1499.

Sax-Forsteg remained a bailiwick of Zürich until the collapse of the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1798.
