About Töss (Kreis 4)
Where to stay in Töss (Kreis 4)
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Room supply sits in Winterthur rather than in Töss, so most visitors book near the parent city centre and reach the district in minutes. Hotels are scarce inside Töss. Anyone picking Töss instead is choosing residential quarters such as Dättnau, Eichliacker and Rossberg, ground that carries houses and the Reformierte Kirche Töss rather than a hotel row.
Zentrum Töss serves as the local hub, and the Fabrikkirche Winterthur is among the nearby markers.
About Töss (Kreis 4)
What are the main landmarks in Töss (Kreis 4)?
Töss Convent is the district's oldest name. The Reformierte Kirche Töss holds the parish, while the Sulzer high-rise and the Fabrikkirche Winterthur carry the industrial names that later building left along the water. Villa Ninck and the Hegnertrotte are the smaller set pieces.
The Brühlbergturm stands as the district's tower, and the Schlosshof-Steg carries a footpath over the Töss. Museum Schaffen keeps the workshop story indoors, and Alt-Wülflingen Castle, Wülflingen Castle and Hoh-Wülflingen sit on the same Winterthur heritage list.
What is the history of Töss (Kreis 4)?
Water named the district. The Töss Convent carried that name into the written record, and the quarters of Schlosstal, Dättnau, Eichliacker and Rossberg were later gathered as the fourth district of Winterthur. Building since has left the Sulzer high-rise, the Fabrikkirche Winterthur and the housing rows of Bachtelstrasse.
Older ground survives in the Hegnertrotte and Villa Ninck, with the Reformed Rectory Wülflingen on the same heritage list.
Where is Töss (Kreis 4)?
