Grandhotel Giessbach Brienzersee, Switzerland

The historic Grandhotel Giessbach was built in 1873/74 by the French architect Horace Edouard Davinet.
The non-profit Giessbach Foundation was set up by Franz Weber in 1983 to save the historically valuable Belle Epoque Grandhotel from demolition and to preserve the beautiful piece of homeland above Lake Brienz for the Swiss people as a common heritage.
