Türcke Castle, Historic villa in Genoa, Italy

Türcke Castle is a historic residence in Genoa, built in 1903 to a design by Florentine architect Gino Coppedè for Swiss engineer Giovanni Türcke. The building reproduces the appearance of a real castle, following the model Coppedè had already tested with the Castello Mackenzie in Genoa. It stands in a panoramic position with views of the sea.

A Swiss engineer commissioned construction of this property in 1903, selecting a prominent architect to design the structure in neo-medieval style. After his death in 1917, a new owner purchased the villa and expanded the grounds through successive land purchases.

The villa's castle-like form repeats the model Gino Coppedè had already tested at Castello Mackenzie in Genoa, then reused in later projects. The building is a historic residence of Genoa, erected in 1903 for the Swiss engineer Giovanni Türcke.

The property sits in the Albaro district of Genoa, an area well-connected by local paths that lead toward the shoreline and nearby beaches. The neighborhood has numerous shops and dining options, making it easy to explore on foot.

Gino Coppedè had already tested the castle formula at Genoa's Castello Mackenzie before applying it here in 1903, and he reused it in later projects. The Florentine architect designed the villa for the Swiss engineer Giovanni Türcke; after Türcke's death, W. Homberger bought it and enlarged the garden with land bought in 1921 and 1925.
