Intro

With its charming French gardens and English park with sculptures by Richard Serra – both of which can be enjoyed on Sundays – Villa Wenkenhof is Basel’s answer to Versailles in miniature.

Hidden behind these historic walls is a long history. The name Wenkenberg first appeared in the Middle Ages and at that time referred to a farming estate. Today the villa boasts magnificent rooms that can be hired for social events. The French garden is open to the public every Sunday.
