You have never set foot in a building like this before: The Ricola Herb Centre is mainly made of loam. Yes, loam. But why? Learn more about this world-renowned building. Best by booking a tour. 

In our Herb Centre you will discover the formula of the Ricola herbal mixture - at least a very little bit. You get exciting insights into the production process. And you will learn how the herbs are turned into delicious sweets and cough drops. 

Small drops, big plans  

Together with architects Herzog & de Meuron, we wanted to set new standards in sustainable industrial architecture. At the same time, we wanted the best storage and processing facilities for our precious Alpine herbs. This is how the idea of the loam building was born.  

One hour, many experiences  

Our one-hour tour of the Herb Centre engages all of your senses. It's truly immersive. At the time, you will get to know us a little more personally: how we feel, how we work, and why we are so passionate about herbs. We look forward to welcoming you to the inner circle of our herbal world.
