Villa Alma, Gothic Revival villa in Männedorf, Switzerland.

The two-story Villa Alma features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, displaying Gothic Revival architecture with Art Nouveau interior elements.

Emil Staub commissioned architects Richard Kuder and Joseph Müller to build the villa in 1906 next to his family's leather manufacturing facilities.

The property holds national significance status and includes a 9000-square-meter park, bathhouse, boathouse, and garage within its protected cultural heritage designation.

The municipality of Männedorf acquired the property in 1971 for 2 million Swiss francs and transformed it into a nursing home for elderly residents.

The villa received its name from Emil Staub's wife, Alma Terlinden, who continued living in the residence until her death in 1970.
