Intro
Surrounded by green meadows and trees, Villa Abegg, built in the Baroque style of Northern Italy, welcomes its guests.
Surrounded by green meadows and trees, Villa Abegg, built in the Baroque style of Northern Italy, welcomes its guests. As soon as you enter the entrance hall, you can sense that the former home of the Abegg couple is a special home: The individual rooms were specially designed to accommodate historical building elements, furniture, wallpaper, paintings and precious handicrafts. For example, the area of the Renaissance room corresponds exactly to the dimensions of the 16th century Spanish beamed ceiling installed there. And the walls of the so-called Flower Room are adorned with painted canvas wallpaper from the early 18th century.
When the Abegg Foundation was established in 1961, Margaret and Werner Abegg were already planning to open their home to the public one day. At their request, the villa and its furnishings were left as they were during their lifetime. The individual rooms, which are dedicated to either an era or a theme, can be visited in small guided groups during the museum season. The tour offers a fascinating insight into the lifestyle of the collector couple.
April 26 - November 8, 2026, daily guided tours in small groups in the afternoon, advance reservation by telephone recommended
