Heritage Museum (in Lindengut)

The Heritage Museum in Lindengut, part of the Historischer Verein Winterthur, is a significant cultural institution that has kept the region's history alive since the association's founding in 1874. The Villa Lindengut, a historic building from the 18th century in the city center, serves not only as an exhibition space but also as a venue for various cultural events. Here visitors can view numerous exhibitions on changing themes about the history and culture of Winterthur and the surrounding area. Current exhibitions such as "ObjektWerkStadt" and "REALITY CHECK! Arbeit, Migration, Geschichte(n)" offer exciting insights into local history, while permanent exhibitions such as "Stadtmodell revisited" reveal long-term perspectives. In addition to the exhibitions, guided city walks and staged tours through the nearby Schloss Mörsburg are also offered, giving guests the opportunity to experience history interactively. The museum invites the public to actively engage with history and to take part in shaping future exhibitions and events, in order to establish a connection between the past and the present. One concern of the Heritage Museum is not only to preserve Winterthur's historical culture but to actively promote it. Visitors have the chance to identify with the regional history and to form a community through memberships and events. The place is thus not only a museum but a lively space for exchange and reflection on social topics.
