Sight 4: Villa Patumbah
The Villa Patumbah at Zollikerstrasse 128 in Zurich was built between 1883 and 1885 by the architects Chiodera and Tschudy for Karl Furchtgott Grob. The extraordinarily wealthy builder had acquired his wealth with a tobacco plantation in Sumatra. Today, the villa is one of the most important witnesses of historicism in Zurich and is a listed building. Patumbak is the name of the village that was located at the first plantation of Grob and gave it its name. In various writings in Zurich it is written that the name means longed-for land in Malay. However, Patumbak is simply a field name.

In 1960, Heidi Weber had the vision to establish a museum designed by Le Corbusier. The building was to exhibit his works of art in an ideal environment created by the architect himself. It was then named the Centre Le Corbusier or Heidi Weber Museum. In April 2014 the building and museum went over to the city of Zürich, and was renamed in May 2016.
