Lake Konstanz, which has been in the focus for several reasons, is also not far.
On the other hand I am not aware of any candidate swallow-tail buildings nearby, but there are a couple of good reasons why that does not have to be a problem. Knowing a few would still be interesting of course.
(The example in Val Müstair proposed by Jessica L. Scott is at the other end of Switzerland, and not at all near).
Of course, without wishing to repeat myself ad nauseum and with the full expectation that at the moment what I say here will probably be completely ignored, before I was aware of any features in the manuscript associated with Germany and Switzerland my analysis of the rosettes folio lead me to conclude that the page represented a journey from the Duchy of Milan to the Papal Council of Basel in Switzerland via a route passing between Lake Constance and Lake Zurich. This would account very well for the illustrations of swallow-tail merlons and similarities found in manuscripts in the areas listed. Maybe some day someone will reread this comment and appreciate my bemusement or exasperation that this has been again ignored here.
