Küsnacht, Municipality on Lake Zurich, Switzerland
Located in the Meilen District of Zurich canton, Küsnacht extends across 12.3 square kilometers of land between agricultural fields and forested areas along Lake Zurich.
The settlement dates back to 1188 when it was known as de Cussenacho, derived from a Roman mansion called fundus Cossiniacus that once stood in the area.
The Carl Gustav Jung Institute maintains a museum and research center in Küsnacht, where the renowned psychiatrist established his practice and treated international patients.
The municipality connects to Zurich through multiple railway stations served by S-Bahn trains and regular boat services operating on Lake Zurich throughout the day.
