Historische Werkstätte Gebrüder Giger

Historische Werkstätte Gebrüder Giger, Schnaus

The museum shows the former production site of the Giger brothers, whose machines are powered by a water wheel with a unique cable transmission. In the historic workshop, visitors are amazed at what a resourceful mind like Arnold Giger was able to set in motion with water power alone. The award-winning "Schnauser" or "Giger ploughs" were famous far beyond the Grisons. Large numbers of them are still in use today in Bolivia and Bhutan.
