travel switzerland europe grindelwald kraftwerk jungfraubahn power station
ARCHITECTS: HALLER & SCHINDLER (1906)
We came upon the Kraftwerk Jungfraubahn power plant in Lutschental on our drive to Grindelwald.
Both the excellent condition of the building and it location right on the rushing river drew my curiousity so we stopped to take a look.
The historic power plant was built on behalf of Jungfraubahn AG, the Jungfrau railway company.
