Villa rodent
The Villa rodent is in the Landi style built building in Küsnacht in canton Zurich . It was part of the St. Raphael private clinic until 2008 and is a listed building.
history
In 1902, the Franciscan Sisters of the Institute of the Holy Cross in Menzingen ( Menzinger Sisters ) took over the health service in the eye and hospital on Seefeldquai in the city of Zurich . A few years later the order leased the entire clinic and ran it under the name Paracelsus Clinic .
In 1937, shortly before the Second World War, the respected ear doctor Felix Nager commissioned the renowned architects Gebrüder Pfister to build a villa in Itschnach. They created the building in the so-called country style. While simple single-family houses and small multi-family houses from this period strongly shaped the image of the post-war period, stately buildings like the Villa Nager were rare, which makes them a piece of Swiss architectural history.
The Franciscan Sisters bought Nager's house in the 1960s. In the garden a bed house and a retreat for the sisters were created. Due to problems with the offspring, the nuns handed the clinic over to attending doctors in early 1985. In the summer of 2008, the old clinic was closed and the building complex with the Villa Nager was sold.
Monument protection
The building had long been listed in the inventory of buildings worthy of protection of the municipality of Küsnacht. When the St. Raphael Clinic wanted to build a modern new building in 2001, the local council gave it a higher priority to remain the municipality where the prestigious clinic was located and renounced a formal protection status. However, when the clinic finally closed its doors, the arguments in favor of a discharge no longer existed. That is why in September 2009 the Küsnacht municipal council placed the Villa Nager under monument protection , which the clinic appealed against.
The building course commission has already named the former Villa Nager “a unique representative of manorial living from rural times”. On March 3, 2012, the federal court rejected the appeal. It recognizes a piece of Swiss architectural history in the Villa Nager and considers its protection to be justified.
