Helvetia As the old bathhouse had to make place for the construction of quais, the then independent municipality of
Riesbach built two new bathing facilities
Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen (1886) and Seebad Utoquai (1890). For the latter, a
bathing palace on stilts with delicate, tower-like structures in the
Moorish style was implemented. For the first time in Zürich, it was allowed to men and women to bathe in the same bath. In 1942 the towering domes were added by sun terraces, also in a wooden construction, were built, and the basic structure of the original bathroom is still preserved. The Utoquai figures in
Inventar der schützenswerten Gärten und Anlagen von kommunaler Bedeutung, being the inventory of estimable gardens and grounds of local importance that was established in 1989. == Cultural heritage ==
