Villa Patumbah, 19th century villa in Riesbach district, Zürich, Switzerland

The four-story Villa Patumbah stands with a grand Renaissance-style façade, adorned with marble elements and statues of Mercury and Flora.

Built between 1883 and 1885 by Karl Fürchtegott Grob, the villa's construction was funded through profits from tobacco plantations in Sumatra.

The Heritage Center within Villa Patumbah presents exhibitions about architectural culture and offers educational programs for different age groups.

Visitors can explore the villa through guided tours, attend workshops, and participate in family activities in the ground floor and garden areas.

The villa's owner financed the underground construction of a railway line near his property to prevent noise and smoke from affecting the estate.
