Intro

The museum focuses on industrialization and the history of the textile industry in the Zurich Oberland. The historical factory area focuses on water power, spinning, weaving and embroidery.

The museum focuses on industrialization and the history of the textile industry in the Zurich Oberland. The spindles of the spinning mill of Adolf Guyer-Zeller, the founder of Jungfrau Railways, once turned here. The historic factory site with its outbuildings, now registered as a site of national importance, focuses on hydropower, spinning, weaving and embroidery.

Experience the entire production process for a piece of fabric with functioning historical machines. Immerse yourself in the history of the people, buildings and technology. Numerous volunteers are committed to preserving the historic facilities and guide visitors through the museum.

NEW! On the trail of water: Outdoor 365 days

An audio walk as an audio journey takes you back to the time when water powered people and machines. Children discover the Glöggli frog and the water shrew on a treasure hunt. The terrain model reveals the true size of the historic factory site and lets you take a virtual look back in time and through walls.
