The Frauenbad am Stadthausquai, often referred to as Frauenbadi, is a historic women's swimming facility located on the Limmat River in Zurich. Established in 1837, it was initially created for body care after the ban on public bathing for women was lifted. The current structure, built in the Jugendstil style in 1888, features a wooden complex floating on the river with a distinctive dome and corner towers. The Frauenbadi is recognized as a site of national cultural significance in Switzerland. Visitors can enjoy a unique swimming experience during the day, as it is exclusively for women, while a bar operates in the evenings, welcoming all genders. The Frauenbadi also hosts cultural events and can be rented for private functions. It is easily accessible from the city center.
