Sauzmehus (Village Museum Kölliken)

Highlight • Historical Site

The beautiful old Hochstudhaus with thatched roof houses the village museum of Kölliken.
The museum is currently (2023) closed for maintenance work, but the house is still worth seeing.

More information (source: website of the municipality of Kölliken):
The "Sauzmehus" is a thatched roof house in Aargau. It was built in 1802. The owners, the Suter family, had a cantonal license to sell salt, which is why they were called "s'Sauzmes".

The house is a frame construction with four high floors and was originally made entirely of wood. In 1941 the stable in Stein was renovated. The hipped roof has an area of 900 square meters and was originally thatched. In 1983 and again in 2020, the covering was renewed with 40 tons of reeds.

The house has been owned by the municipality of Kölliken since 1981 and has been a museum since 1987. It shows the way of life of a wealthy farming family in the 19th and early 20th centuries, gives an insight into old handicraft techniques and conveys topics from the history of the village in Köllik.

Nice cycling path along the Uerke

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On the bike path it can be rolled wonderfully and the small brook easily outperforms the adjacent motorway.

Schachen

Highlight • Forest

Aarau has been closely associated with cavalry for over 100 years as a former cavalry trading post. Many Dragoons got to know Aarau and the Aarau Schachen during the recruit school or in WW's. For barracks belonged to the cavalry a large, 3-fold riding hall (about 20 x 80 m) and various stables. During the Second World War, internees, under the direction of cavalry officers and construction professionals of the city of Aarau built the hippodrome and the jumping and dressage facilities in the idyllic Schachenwald along the Aare. With the dissolution of the last cavalry units in 1972, these facilities could be taken over by private organizations. At this time, the founding of the cavalry and riding club can be traced back. In the Aargauer Schachen today is the racecourse, the outdoor pool and the sports complex
