Former Kunz spinning mill

The former Kunz spinning mill contains multiple six-story factory buildings situated along the Reuss river, featuring classical architectural elements and a dedicated power station.

Heinrich Kunz established the cotton spinning mill in 1828, which operated continuously until 2002, employing hundreds of workers and shaping the local economy of Windisch.

The preserved factory school from 1838 stands as the only remaining example of industrial education facilities in the Canton of Aargau.

The industrial complex underwent transformation into the Kunzareal development, incorporating modern facilities while maintaining its historical structures.

Two symmetrical factory buildings utilized undershot water wheels for power generation, making use of the steep gradient along the Reuss river banks.
