I am swiss myself and can’t figure out what the hell this building is.

  1. It’s on the wrong side of Walenstadt to be a military installation. Like it’s not impossible, but the big military training center in Walenstadt is on the other side of town.

    My guess would be power station.

  2. The place has computers and servers to run Olten bots which advertise Olten everywhere on the internet

  3. Don’t you know?
    It’s “courageous” starchitecture. An old Victorian style hotel was razed for it, just like many in CH.

    Isn’t it bold?

    /s

  4. It‘s definitive an Olten style building.
    You can recognize that because of the straight concrete lines forming the first floor and breaking with the uneven pavement in front of it.
    Also, on picture two the circle window (called Eye of Olten) facing in the direction of Olten, what is typical for buildings outside of Olten but built by this culture.
    Probably a place of worshipping.
    However, abandoned and maybe to put to another use, once the culture faced some kind of decline after the rise of the Helvetic federation.

    Great architecture. Real cultural treasure.

  5. If you were Swiss you would know that if you don’t know, you don’t need to know and probably should not seek to know.

    So who do you spy for, exactly?🤨
