The Pavillon Le Corbusier on Lake Zurich is considered an architectural jewel. Completed in 1967, it is the last building designed by the important architect and his only building made of steel and glass. After extensive renovation, the structure now shines in new splendor and invites visitors to take a unique “architectural promenade” through its various floors. Since 2019, the pavilion is run as a public museum by the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich on behalf of the City of Zurich. The pavilion provides limited wheelchair-access.
