Villa Jeanneret-Perret

Located in the beautiful Swiss town and the birthplace of Le Corbusier, La Chaux-de-Fonds's Villa Jeanneret-Perret is not only architectural landmark of the city but also a popular tourist attraction and a protected Swiss monument. Built in 1912 and designed by the famous architect for his parents, the house formed his very own residence for three years until it was sold in 1919. Today, it is owned and maintained by a volunteer organization who offer guided tours and visits of the house to the public along with rental space in its hall for private events. A must visit for architecture enthusiasts since it is a pioneering example of modern architecture and a trademark of Corbusier's neoclassical style.
