C. G. Jung residence, Historic residence and museum in Küsnacht, Switzerland.
The house is a three-story lakeside building overlooking Lake Zurich, constructed in a classical style with large windows and spacious proportions. The interior contains original furnishings throughout, including a private study, consultation room, extensive library, and living quarters with period furniture and personal items.
The house was designed in 1908 by architect Ernst Robert Fiechter and served as Jung's home and workplace for more than 50 years. The Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology made it the center of his practice and intellectual work until his death in 1961.
The residence reflects Jung's intellectual life through spaces that show how he worked and engaged with patients. Visitors see his workspace and understand his daily routines by observing the original furnishings and room arrangements.
Access is provided through Seestrasse and the grounds sit directly on the lakefront, offering both water and road access. Visitors should plan ahead since guided tours require advance booking and offer the best way to see the interior spaces properly.
The garden was landscaped according to Jung's own designs and remains unchanged since his era, complete with a private boat house and lakeside walkway. These green spaces were part of his contemplative practice and show how he integrated nature into his daily intellectual work.
