Credit Suisse Global Headquarters
Founded in 1856 by Alfred Escher, the Schweizerische Kreditanstalt was Switzerland’s first major bank. Created to provide credit and support economic development, it played a crucial role in financing the expansion of the Swiss railway network. The bank later became Credit Suisse, which grew into one of the world’s most recognized financial institutions.
Located opposite the Headquarters of Fifa, it opened its doors on February 28, 2016. With its 3000 m2 of exhibition space, it offers all facets of football. The first stone of the building was laid by Sepp Blatter in 2013 and its construction was estimated at 130 million euros.
The estate once belonged to Otto Wesendonck, a wealthy German silk merchant and art patron. The Rietberg Museum, with its three historic villas and beautiful park, has a fascinating history. In the 19th century, the composer Richard Wagner lived here for several months. During his stay, he completed the original version of Tristan und Isolde, inspired by his love for Mathilde Wesendonck. The museum officially opened in 1952 and was later expanded with the addition of the modern “Emerald” building, which brings a contemporary touch to the historic site. The Wesendonck and Rieter villas house the impressive collections of Baron Eduard von der Heydt, featuring artworks from China, Japan, Africa, Oceania, the Near East, and Tibet.
Built in 1819 by Heinrich Escher, a Zurich politician and railway pioneer, this neoclassical mansion is surrounded by one of the city’s oldest and largest landscaped parks. The estate reflects the elegance of 19th-century Zurich and today welcomes visitors as a restaurant in a unique historic setting.
