Zug, Switzerland

Rising above the meadows and fields of the Ennetsee countryside, this remarkable landmark could almost be mistaken for a church or monastery. In fact, it is a former spinning mill with its own tower, dating back to 1863, when the power of the Lorze River first drove its machinery. In 2000, the building underwent a meticulous transformation into four extraordinary loft residences. Today, the spectacular “SOHO HOUSE” loft occupies the entire west side – including the tower – and offers a private garden with a pergola, jacuzzi, and sauna. Inside, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights flood the interiors with natural light. The authentic factory character has been preserved through the original structure and exposed walls, while contemporary architectural design elements create a refined contrast, delivering a truly unique living experience. The location balances serenity with convenience: in the village of Hagendorn, a local shop with post office, restaurant, and primary school are just steps away. Nearby Cham, stretching along the shores of Lake Zug, offers diverse shopping and dining options, while the picturesque old town of Zug awaits with its historic boutiques, cafés, and cultural highlights. Zurich, Lucerne, and Zurich Airport are all within easy reach via the A3 motorway. For leisure, Lake Zug invites you to enjoy water sports, while the surrounding countryside offers hiking trails, horse riding, golf courses, and charming farm shops. The nearby Frauental Monastery impresses with its Rococo church and artisanal products. To the south, the Swiss Alps beckon – with the legendary Rigi mountain and family-friendly ski areas just 20 minutes away. The SOHO HOUSE loft combines the industrial heritage of a historic factory with the comfort and sophistication of modern luxury living – a rare opportunity in one of Switzerland’s most desirable regions.
