Autumn in Bally Park

in GEMS4 years ago

The Bally park with its unique English style, its beautiful Aare landscape and the miniaturized pile dwellings are a unique example of the park in Europe. At that time, the workers from Shoe Factory Bally could find peace and recreation here.

In 1851 Carl Franz Bally founded the Bally shoe factory in Schönenwerd- Switzerland. The park was part of a typical industrial landscape of the 19th century, consisting of factories, factory owner's villa, workers' houses, storerooms and lounges.
