seekultour

Art, Culture and Architecture are important components of our concept. For this reason the association seekultour was founded. The curator Andrin Schütz equips the whole area of the old spinning mill with wonderful works of art. A visit is worthwile and can be best experienced with a guided tour!

In the gallery in the lofthotel you can find the heart of the cultural offers with information about the artists and commentary of their works.

Artwalk at the Walensee

On the occasion of the Swiss Expo.02 the artwalk of Daniel Ambühl was a much-admired art object. Now, we are privileged to present an artwalk at the Walensee, which connects 2 watersides, 2 cantons, art and local history to an interesting ensemble and is organized for longer periods. The installation allows you to create an artwork by yourself. Using seven colours and a sheet of paper, an individually crafted souvenir of the Walensee is being originated.
