The Tr\u00f6ckneturm site with the pond in Sch\u00f6nenwegen in the west of the city of St. Gallen is one of the most striking architectural monuments from the heyday of the textile industry in eastern Switzerland. The monumental, 25 metre high wooden tower is the only remaining building of an Indienne dye works that was built on the grounds of Waldegg Castle after 1825. The factory building itself and the chapel belonging to it were demolished in 1926, and one of the three ponds was filled in. The building, in which – as the name suggests – the cloths were hung up to dry in long lengths after dyeing, provides an impressive insight into an old St. Gallen textile industry.<\/p>\n
The Tr\u00f6ckneturm can be rented for private or business events. The ground floor is ideal for birthday parties, celebrations or other private events (60 to 80 people). There is a projector, screen and WiFi on the ground floor. The tower and its surroundings are also very suitable for business meetings or events. A kitchen is available. Food and drink can be brought along or delivered.<\/p>\n
Franziska W\u00fcst Since January 1, 2023, wedding couples have been able to get married in the Tr\u00f6ckneturm once or twice a month on Fridays. The atmospheric room, equipped with a fireplace, offers space for around 60-80 people and is therefore significantly more spacious than the other two wedding venues in the city of St.Gallen, those in the town hall and town hall.
