Seedorf is often called Lake Uri’s little cultural and leisure center. And rightly so, for within its community there are a great number of historical buildings to be seen, for example, the churches of St. 05Ulrich and St. Verena, the tower of Seedorf, the small A Pro castle with its moat, as well as the St. Lazarus monastery, which is con- sidered to be the most beautiful Baroque building in the region of Uri. Seedorf is also a paradise for those looking for relaxation and sporting activities: a sports field with running track, two sports halls with various facilities, a Vita Parcours, a hall for roller hockey, a tennis hall with two indoor and three outdoor courts, a public outdoor swimming area with beach volleyball, islands for observing nature and swimming, as well as horse riding.
