The canton of Zug is home to a great wealth and impressive variety of religious cultural assets that are worthy of increased attention: Churches, monasteries, chapels, ossuaries, each with all their furnishings, as well as wayside shrines, wayside crosses, crossroads, etc.

The "Kulturpunkte Zug" project aims to arouse interest in these cultural assets and convey them in an attractive way using modern media, bringing them closer digitally - with videos, audio files, picture galleries, short, informative texts and many links. But above all with stories - with stories about what and how people have believed in past centuries, how they have lived and mastered life with the help of their faith.

These diverse forms of faith and their material manifestations, including their changes, have had a significant impact on our culture and continue to shape it to a not inconsiderable extent today, albeit often unconsciously. Finding or deepening access to Zug's cultural points therefore also means gaining a better understanding of the present and, ultimately, of ourselves.

In a multicultural and multireligious society in particular, knowledge of one's own regional traditions and a certain familiarity with them are fundamental to finding one's identity. And both are just as essential for mutual understanding, dialog and peaceful coexistence as they are for shaping the future responsibly.
