View of Bad Zurzach with the tower hotel

The Turmhotel Bad Zurzach is a sixteen-story hotel tower with a panorama restaurant in Bad Zurzach . It was built in 1964, has a square cross-section with a side length of 10 meters and is 62 meters high. It served as a water tower with a container of 100 cubic meters, as evidenced by three windowless floors below the restaurant.

The Turmhotel Bad Zurzach ceased operations in 2015 and is currently used as the administration building of the neighboring rehabilitation clinic, although the restaurant is still open. Since the renovation of the outdated infrastructure would be too expensive and the small floor plan prevents a meaningful expansion, the building is to be demolished. It has not yet been determined when the demolition work will begin.
