Turbine found at Landgasthof Mühle

During construction work in the Landgasthof Mühle area, a turbine was found in the ground. This discovery was reported to the Office for Culture, which inspected and secured the site. It turned out that the turbine came from the former Jenny & Spoerry spinning mill hydroelectric power plant and must be preserved at the site. An archaeological display case will be erected for this purpose, which will be open to the public in future.

The turbine found at Landgasthof Mühle is subject to the Cultural Property Act. As it is located on the municipality's property, it is owned by the municipality. The Office for Culture considers the significance of the find to be very high. For this reason, an archaeological display case will be set up by the end of the year to make the turbine visible. The costs for the construction amount to CHF 90,000.00 (incl. VAT) and are subsidized by the state with 50 percent.
