Lassalle house, Educational center in Menzingen, Switzerland.
Lassalle House is an educational center in Menzingen offering accommodation, meals, and conference facilities for various programs. The facility features different areas arranged throughout the grounds for learning, meetings, and quiet reflection in a rural setting.
Jesuits founded this center in the mid-20th century as a place for inner development and community experience. The site has since expanded and been updated to meet changing needs over the decades.
The house functions as a meeting place where groups gather for courses and retreats focused on personal development and well-being. Over time it has become a regional hub for learning and community activities.
The site is easily accessible with parking available and ramps or level access to main areas for visitors with mobility needs. It helps to book ahead since accommodation is limited and programs often fill up quickly.
Architect André Studer designed the building using harmonic architecture principles, where the proportions of spaces correspond to musical intervals. This unusual approach merges mathematics and acoustics with the physical layout of the rooms.
