A place with history
"Lord God, lay your sawing power. In the vines and in the vine. So you enjoy the noble drink. For this say praise and thanks to your God. May God protect your trots. From all harm and danger." is still inscribed on the mountain-side porch purlin and is a reminder of the heyday of viticulture in Winterthur, which once covered 51 hectares. A story that simply provides an interesting setting for any event. Building history documentation
