The local museum in Unterengstringen is housed in the former 18th century country house of a Zurich burgher family.
The local museum in Unterengstringen is housed in the former 18th century country house of a Zurich burgher family. The local history collection includes objects from agriculture, viticulture, crafts and trades, coins, weights and measures as well as household and kitchen items. Documents on local history and a collection of pictures by Otto Baumberger round off the exciting permanent exhibition. There are also regular temporary exhibitions. Since April 2019, we have been showing "Our drinking water" and since March 2023 "Our village fountains" in two temporary exhibitions. For a long time, water was a major problem for the people of Unterengstringen. The village is far away from drinking water sources. It was not until 1755 that water could be drawn from the three village wells. And it was another long wait before drinking water was supplied to the houses. A modern water supply system was built from 1900. Today, Unterengstringen has a modern water supply thanks to a prudent well master.
