The museum offers a deep dive into the history of Horgen and its surrounding areas, making it a worthwhile visit for those interested in Swiss history and culture.
Historical Context of the Sust
The history of the Sust is closely intertwined with the increasing trade into central Switzerland and with the pass crossing over the Gotthard, which was opened in 1200. This connection to trade and transportation routes gives the museum a unique historical context, providing visitors with a glimpse into the economic and social developments of the region over the centuries.
