Swiss Mill Day on 11 May 2024 in Flüh

23 April 2024

The Swiss Association of Friends of the Mills (Die Vereinigung Schweizer Mühlenfreunde) annually organises the national Mill Day on the Saturday after Ascension Day.

During this national event, historic mills in all parts of the country open their doors, including the Flühmühle in Hofstetten-Flüh (canton of Solothurn), from 11:00 a.m.

At 13:00 and 15:00, two short presentations (in German) highlight the mill’s cultural-historical context, architecture, and function.

After 11:00 a.m., visitors can view the mill and its partially preserved grinding plant, as well as historical pictures and artefacts.  

At the same time, the mill invites you to linger on the mill square (in the Stube in case of rain). Coffee, tea, cold drinks and sweet and savoury delicacies will be available from 11.00 a.m.

The day will end at 16:00 with a solo performance by Christine Lauterburg. Christine has reinterpreted yodelling and made it accessible to a broader audience. Her music combines folk, pop, chanson, and world music elements.

The number of seats for the concert is limited, and registration is mandatory: [email protected]

Collection for the concert: indicative amount CHF 20.-
