Swissmill Tower

The Swissmill Tower, also known as Kornhaus, is the tallest operating grain elevator in the world, reaching 118 metres (387 ft) in height. Located in Zürich, Switzerland, it was constructed to replace an older grain silo and began operations in 2016. This impressive structure not only serves as a vital part of Switzerland's grain processing industry, supplying flour to major retailers, but also stands as a notable architectural feature in the city. Despite some criticism of its industrial design, the tower symbolizes the importance of grain storage and processing in the region, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
