Swiss Heritage Center at the Villa Patumbah

The Heritage Center is housed in a beautiful villa at a spot in Zurich.

Visitors can explore construction culture at first hand on the ground floor of the magnificent Villa Patumbah: changing exhibitions on topics of building culture are shown here.

The second floor contains an Asian temple under an impressive glass dome. This can be visited as part of a tour.

A theatre tour takes place once a month and shares stories about the park and villa. The immortal Butler Johann who has worked at the villa for 130 years leads the tour.

In Spring, the park and other places in Zurich are transformed into a colorful spectacle. Magnolias, Japanese cherry blossoms and cherry plums enchant with their white and pink colors and turn Zurich into a big sea of blossoms.
