Bollingen Tower, Stone villa in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The stone structure stands near Lake Zurich with four connected towers, resembling a small castle built from local materials and stones.
Carl Jung purchased the land in 1922 and constructed the initial two-story round tower in 1923, adding extensions in 1927, 1931, and 1935.
The tower contains symbols and inscriptions reflecting Jung's studies of alchemy, including a stone cube with philosophical texts in Greek and Latin.
The property remains under private ownership through a family trust and does not permit public access to its grounds or interior spaces.
Jung carved a cubic stone monument near the tower in 1950, featuring quotes from Rosarium philosophorum and representations of Telesphoros.
