Mühlen in Zürich

The Limmatmühlen consist of multiple water-powered mills positioned along the Limmat River, utilizing water flow for mechanical operations in Zürich's workshops.

During the Middle Ages, these watermills formed the industrial backbone of Zürich, processing grain and providing power for various manufacturing activities.

The mills represent Switzerland's industrial heritage, with some structures now converted into cultural spaces hosting exhibitions, performances, and community gatherings.

Visitors can explore several preserved mill buildings, including Mühle Tiefenbrunnen, which contains restaurants, shops, and event spaces accessible by public transport.

The Mühlerama, housed in a former mill, functions as a specialized museum where guests can observe traditional grain processing methods through preserved machinery.
