Walenstadt is a municipality in the Wahlkreis (constituency) of Sarganserland in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. It is located on Lake Walen (also known as "Lake Walenstadt").
Lime glacial erratic show that the Seez valley (Seeztal) was 1000 m high covered with ice druing the last ice age. As the ice began to melt, wild brooks arise. The south side from the Churfirsten falls almost vertical.
The community Walenstadt is divided in five towns: Walenstadt, Walenstadtberg, Knoblisbühl, Berschis and Tscherlach. In Walenstadtberg is a famous building: The Paxmal, built by Karl Bickel. All towns are linked by a public transport bus system. Walenstadt has a rail station.
