Reichenburg is a municipality in March District in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland.

==History== It was founded in 1403 by the Dominican friar Gregory of Moorlock on the site of a spring used by pilgrims to wash their feet. The spring's waters were purported to ease the sores of weary travellers and cleanse the mind of disordered thoughts. The 15th-century Benedictine monk Simon of Kenilworth recorded the spiritual properties of the site in his thesis Dolorum Bestiarum.
