Listed building celebrates its opening on 8 March
The tithe barn in Dietikon has been remodelled and extensively renovated to become a house for the public. It will be inaugurated on 8 March and open its doors to the general public.
The town of Dietikon invites you to the inauguration of the Haus der Bevölkerung on Saturday, 8 March. The Haus der Bevölkerung has been set up in the historic tithe barn. The listed building, which dates back to around 1600, will shine in new splendour following extensive renovation and will be available as a versatile event venue in future, according to a press release from the town of Dietikon. With a new digital booking system, reservations for cultural events, exhibitions and private functions will be possible from 1 June.
On the open day, visitors will be able to view the new premises from 11 a.m. and see for themselves the wide range of possible uses for the building, according to the press release. Sibylle Baumann will be reciting various stories in dialect. At 3 p.m. she will talk about “The golden bird – funny animal stories” and at 4 p.m. she will present “About eating and being eaten – adventurous stories”.
The Zehntenscheune is one of Dietikon’s oldest buildings. With a capacity of around 120 seats, a new grandstand and modern facilities, the large hall is suitable for events. A passenger lift also provides accessibility.
The foyer on the ground floor has been redesigned. The massive plank wall, a relic from its original use as a stable or storage room, has been retained. A long bar is intended to turn the foyer into an attractive meeting place. An old archway leading into the garden area of the house was also uncovered.
