Our exhibition hall is being renovated in terms of energy and technology and therefore you will not be able to visit us, or only to a limited extent, from 1st November 2023 until the end of August 2025!
Part of the hall can be used for smaller events. Please contact our event manager on +41 32 511 74 08.
We will also be holding sporadic smaller events during this period, to which you are cordially invited. We will announce these events on our website as soon as possible.
The most extensive and most interesting collection of international steam technology is located in an old factory hall in Winterthur. Numerous volunteer helpers look after and cherish around 500 tons of cultural assets from the time of industrialization.
A collection of stationary steam engines of national importance faced a very uncertain future in 2010: was the only option left? A group of people from the Winterthur region took the decision to campaign for the preservation of this culturally and historically valuable collection.
Unfortunately, the costs of maintaining this cultural asset cannot be covered solely by the enormous amount of labour required, but also require broader financial support from patrons, sponsors and steam enthusiasts.
The Steam Centre Winterthur consists of two parts that work very closely together, the Steam Centre Association, which is responsible for looking after the collection, and the Steam Centre Foundation, which is responsible for space and fundraising.
Here you will find all documents and reports from the Steam Centre and about the Steam Centre
