Villa Wenkenhof, Historical villa in Riehen, Switzerland.
The Villa Wenkenhof comprises two distinct structures, known as Old and New Wenken, situated within a 6.3-hectare estate featuring formal gardens.
The estate's history dates to 751 when it was recorded as 'Wahinhofen' during Charlemagne's reign, later undergoing multiple transformations through centuries.
The Alexander Clavel Foundation manages the property, organizing regular cultural events and the annual Wenkenhofgespräche discussions in its spaces.
Visitors can access sections of the park and attend concerts throughout the year, with specific areas available for private event rentals.
The gardens display both French Baroque and English landscape styles, including design elements by French architect André Le Nôtre from the 17th century.
