Швейцарский домик, Alpine-style architectural landmark in Veshnyaki district, Moscow, Russia.
The Swiss House is a residential building with alpine architecture located in Moscow's Veshnyaki district. The structure features wooden cladding, sloped roofs, and window designs that resemble mountain dwelling styles.
The building was constructed in 1870 as part of the Kuskovo estate owned by a Russian aristocratic family. It reflects the 19th-century fascination with European building traditions.
The building earned its name from its alpine design and wooden details that evoke Swiss mountain villages. Visitors can see handcrafted elements on the façade that show how Russian builders interpreted foreign architectural traditions.
