Casa Stefan Zweig, Historical museum in Petropolis, Brazil
The Casa Stefan Zweig features traditional Brazilian architecture with European influences, incorporating large windows, wooden floors, and a terraced garden on a hillside.
The Austrian writer Stefan Zweig and his wife Lotte lived in this residence from 1940 until their deaths in February 1942 during their exile from Nazi Europe.
The museum presents exhibitions about European immigration to Brazil, displaying photographs, documents, and personal items that belonged to Stefan Zweig and other refugees.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, maintains a specialized library of exile literature, and organizes regular literary events throughout the year.
A large chess set decorates the terrace, commemorating Zweig's final novella 'The Royal Game', which he wrote within these walls before his death.
