The Sihlcity shopping and leisure center was built on the Sihl premises in 2007. From 1837 until the first excavating machines started work in 2003, paper was produced at this site. A 213-foot brick chimney and three other buildings have been successfully integrated into this “city within a city” and they hearken back to the industrialization era when people worked 12 hours a day.

Today, Sihlcity displays a more easygoing side. Visitors can enjoy themselves at one of the restaurants or bars or in the “Asia Spa” wellness center with Japanese springs and a meditation pool. For a change of pace, there are also movie theaters and nightclubs to choose from.
