Ausstelung s-cultura

The sculptures by Not Bott (1927-1998), who left behind an impressive body of work, are exhibited in the Schams district mill in Zillis. The engine room can also be visited.

Description

The district of Schams acquired the "Susta vis-à-vis Pension Conrad in Zillis" in 1918 for the establishment of a mill.
The electric Ammann mill (Langenthal) with its barley hulling mill at Hauptstrasse 10 in Zillis was in operation from 1919 to 1968. In the machine room today there is also a barley crushing machine made by Bucher of Niederweningen in 1940 and a steel reseeding machine made by F. Neuhaus, Eberswalde (former GDR) from the 1930s. The machines are no longer operational. However, they are cultural artefacts with a fascinating industrial design. The last Schamser Landsgemeinde sold the building in 2014.
