==History== thumb|Aerial view by Walter Mittelholzer (1918-1937) Elsau is first mentioned in 1043 as Elnesouva. On 23 April 1398 Count Donat von Toggenburg, Herr zu Brettengow und Tavas donated the church of Elsow as benefice for the new Allerheiligenaltar at the grave of the Toggenburg family in the Rüti Monastery, for the salvation of the soul of his daughter Menta von Toggenburg who died shortly before, as well as further lands and goods in the present Weinland district of the canton of Zürich, confirmed among others by Ruodolf von Bonstetten from Ustra.
