Mühle Trichtenhausen, Historic water mill in Zollikerberg, Switzerland
Description
Mühle Trichtenhausen is a former water-powered mill standing on the Wehrenbach stream with two historic waterwheels that drove grinding and production work. The complex comprises several connected structures that supported both industrial and domestic operations across centuries.
History
The location appears in written records from 946 under the name Truhtilhusa, and the first documented miller there dates to 1417. Over the following centuries, the facility grew beyond simple grain processing into a multi-purpose production site.
Culture
The mill complex once housed multiple crafts beyond grinding, including sawing and leather tanning operations that served the local community. The layout reflects how such places were centers of practical work and daily activity for the region.
Practical
The mill now operates as a restaurant, so you can experience the building by dining there. The streamside location is peaceful and easy to reach on foot or by a short drive from the center of the area.
Did you know?
The decorative mill wheel displayed above the building was brought from Wernetshausen and mounted in 1970. It serves as a visual reminder of the mill's heritage and regional connections.
