Casas y Parque Prochelle, Historical monument and cultural center in Isla Teja, Valdivia, Chile.

Casas y Parque Prochelle comprises two timber houses on Isla Teja. Casa Prochelle I, designed by Gustavo Prochelle in 1902, stands on a one-metre base of concrete and slate and covers 2,294 square metres; its facade bears a tympanum with the letter "P". Casa Prochelle II, built in 1924 for Oscar Prochelle under architect Otto Ottinger, is smaller. The adjoining park, separated from the houses by the Pedro de Valdivia bridge in 1953, holds native and foreign species.

The first house was completed in 1902 and a second residence was added later, both built as private homes for the Prochelle family. They date from the period when German colonists were actively settling the south and leaving their architectural mark on the region.

The letter "P" carved in the tympanum of Casa Prochelle I's main facade stands for the family that built it. Both houses formed part of the so-called "Criadero La Teja", and Casa Prochelle II, built for Oscar Prochelle under architect Otto Ottinger's advice, is the smaller of the two. Since 2012 the first house has served as a cultural centre for exhibitions and artistic creation.

The park is managed by the Municipality of Valdivia and open to visitors; it was separated from the houses in 1953 by the Pedro de Valdivia bridge. Casa Prochelle I, reached on Isla Teja, holds exhibition rooms, an information desk and cloakroom on its ground floor, with the Cultural Corporation's offices upstairs. Parking is available on site.

The letter "P" carved into the tympanum of Casa Prochelle I's main facade stands for the family that built it; Gustavo Prochelle designed and erected the house himself in 1902. The adjoining park was cut off from the houses in 1953 when the Pedro de Valdivia bridge was built, and it has been run by the municipality since.
