Villa Belvoir, Neoclassical mansion and park in Enge, Switzerland
Villa Belvoir stands on Wyssbühel hill, featuring three floors and established gardens with flower arrangements and numerous tree species from North America.
Heinrich Escher purchased the land in 1826 and constructed the villa between 1828 and 1831, transforming the hillside for the estate development.
The property houses a professional hotel management school since 1925, where students operate an on-site restaurant open to the public.
The park maintains accessible paths throughout its grounds, connecting various sections including the flower parterre, vegetable garden, and historical tree plantings.
The estate lost direct access to Lake Zurich in 1872 when the construction of the left lakeside railway created a physical barrier.
