Perrot Villa, Architectural heritage villa in Pregny-Chambésy, Switzerland.

Perrot Villa is a brick house near Geneva built in 1881 in Louis XIII style. The building features red brickwork with pink-hued sandstone trim and granite columns that were brought from Scotland.

The estate's oldest deed dates from 1723, when Jacob Chouet ceded a two-storey house with cellars, a barn, stables and a large press to Jean-Louis Chouet. In 1788 the clockmaker Henri-Louis Jaquet-Droz bought and enlarged it. His descendant Adolphe Perrot had the old house demolished in 1879 and built the present villa between 1881 and 1883 to plans by architect Jacques-Elysée Goss.

The villa takes its name from Louis Perrot, a nature and botany enthusiast who married his cousin Cécile-Madeleine Jaquet-Droz in 1809 and spent summers on the family property. His son Adolphe had the present house built and gave it the name Villa Perrot. The red-brick facade with pink sandstone trim and Scottish granite columns was a deliberate contrast to Geneva's grey molasse houses.

The estate sits within a park with mature trees, offering partial glimpses of Lake Geneva through the greenery. Access is straightforward using local roads, making it convenient to visit the area.

The estate's grounds cover 33,378 m², and Adolphe Perrot bought parcels as far as the chemin des Cornillons to keep an open view of Lake Geneva. Soil dug out during construction was used to widen the terrace, though century-old trees now block part of the view.
