Spinning mill Hard

Spinning Mill Hard is an industrial building in Wülflingen designed with solid architecture for textile manufacturing. The structure contains functional production spaces where machinery and work processes were arranged to support efficient operations during the manufacturing era.

Spinning Mill Hard was established in the 19th century as a major textile production facility in the Winterthur region. It became instrumental in the area's economic expansion and helped establish the city as an important industrial center.

This spinning mill shaped how people in the region worked and lived during the industrial period, becoming central to Winterthur's identity as a manufacturing hub. The building reflects the pride workers took in their craft and the importance textiles held for the local economy.

The site is located in Wülflingen and is accessible by public transportation. Plan enough time to walk through the grounds and explore the preserved production areas and machinery at your own pace.

The site preserves many original machines and tools that reveal how textiles were produced step by step, first by hand and later with mechanical assistance. These surviving pieces of equipment help visitors understand the actual work routines that shaped daily life in the factory.
