Über den Ort

A first bathhouse for women was built near the Bauschänzli in 1837; today’s fretwork-style bath with its curved corner turrets dates from 1888 and is listed in the Inventory of Cultural Property of National Significance. In the inner courtyard you bathe screened from view, while from the lounging deck on the Limmat the view extends to the Grossmünster.

During the day the bath is reserved for women; swimming freely in the Limmat is prohibited because of boat traffic. On summer evenings the wooden deck becomes a barefoot bar for everyone – shoes stay outside. For families with small children, the city recommends a pool with a children’s area.
