Bata Area

The Bata Area spans multiple buildings featuring standardized dimensions and arched windows, creating an integrated manufacturing and commercial environment in Möhlin.

During the early 20th century, Tomas Bata established this industrial site near the train station, implementing production methods influenced by his observations in the United States.

The complex represents a significant example of industrial architecture in Switzerland, earning recognition as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national importance.

The area includes manufacturing facilities, retail spaces, and an outlet store offering shoes and accessories at reduced prices with extended shopping hours throughout the week.

The buildings incorporate modular construction principles that Bata implemented across multiple facilities, creating a standardized industrial architecture system throughout Europe.
