Casa del Cerro, Torreón, Historical monument in central Torreón, Mexico.
Casa del Cerro is a monument located in central Torreón featuring neoclassical elements combined with German castle-inspired architecture on elevated ground. The residence contains fifteen rooms decorated with Italian tile floors and now displays objects that document the city's past.
Engineer Federico Wulff built this residence in 1904, shaping Torreón's urban growth during an important period of expansion. Beyond this building, he left his mark by designing the city's street layout and infrastructure.
The building has served as the City Historical Museum since 1994, displaying furniture, weapons, clothing, and photographs from different periods. These collections tell the story of how people lived and worked in the region across generations.
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday and guided tours walk visitors through the history and architecture of the building. It is helpful to check ahead about any specific accessibility needs before your visit.
During the Mexican Revolution, the United States government rented the building as a consulate, which protected it from damage during the conflict. This unexpected diplomatic role became a surprising chapter in its story.
