Ballenberg
Graubünden wine press (17th c.)

Such giant presses, with beams more than ten metres long, existed in several regions as early as the 14th and 15th centuries. The powerful beams function as levers and are capable of exerting a thrust of a few dozen tons. This 1695 press weighs 2500kg and comes from Fläsch (Graubünden) on the banks of the Rhine river.
