Bad- und Waschanstalt Winterthur, Historical bathhouse in Altstadt, Winterthur, Switzerland.
The Bad- und Waschanstalt Winterthur features marble bathtubs, various shower facilities, chemical baths, and an indoor swimming pool measuring 12 by 8 meters.
Built between 1862 and 1864 by architect Wilhelm Bareiss, this establishment marked its place in history as the first indoor swimming pool in Switzerland.
The interior design incorporated Moorish architectural elements with horseshoe-shaped windows and decorative features that reflected the oriental bathing culture of the period.
The building, located at Badgasse 6, served as a public bathing facility until 1923, providing essential hygiene services to residents without private bathrooms.
The structure contains a minaret-shaped chimney and Carrara marble bathtubs, combining functional requirements with architectural elements from different cultural traditions.
