Zuger Kirschtorten Museum

The museum is open daily during store opening hours.

Heinrich Höhn, the inventor of the Zuger Kirschtorte, took over the "Kaffee-Wirtschaft zur Spindel" in 1913 and set up a small pastry shop with his wife. He was fascinated by the local kirsch and spent several years experimenting with a cake soaked in kirsch. Two years passed before he launched the first Zuger Kirschtorte on the market. The success story began.
