Blessed Kunigunde of Rapperswil was a Christian woman of medieval Switzerland who embraced a life of prayer, humility, and charitable service. After the death of her husband, she devoted herself more completely to God and to the needs of the poor.

Kunigunde was remembered for her faithfulness, generosity, and love for the Church. The local devotion that grew around her memory honors her as a blessed witness to Christian widowhood and a life offered quietly to God.
