[1][2] The site is located on Zürichsee lakeshore in Feldbach and partially in Kempraten, a locality of the municipality of Rapperswil-Jona in the Canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland.

Distinctive house plans and a cultural layer dating from the middle phase of the Corded Ware period, is of particular importance in that multi-phase settlement.

The dates refer to the same period as the transport routes across the lake from Hurden and the slightly post-date neighbouring island settlement in Rapperswil.

[3] As well as being part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, the settlement is also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class A object of national importance.

[4] Hence, the area of each settlement is provided as a historical site under federal protection, within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Act on the nature and cultural heritage (German: Bundesgesetz über den Natur- und Heimatschutz NHG) of 1 July 1966.
