Villa Maund

[5] Among his guests were Zaha Hadid, Daniel Spoerri,[1] Ferran Adrià, Günter Brus, Franzobel, Heinz D. Heisl and Eckart Witzigmann.

In 1888 he had built two similar-looking houses for John Oakley Maund in the Anglo-Scottish cottage style in Weggis on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland.

The widow Zoe Gertraud Maund built a small power plant with a dam in 1923, the generator of which delivered direct current to the villa for 47 years.

After the first hunt in 1895 (Alexander Kennedy, James Fairholm, B. Montgomery, Zoe Gertraud Maund and Lady Carolina Hamilton), Crown Princess Cecilie regularly leased Villa Maund with her husband, Crown Prince Wilhelm, for hunting from 1908 until the end of World War II.

During Cecilie's stay in 1943 she confided to the chief hunter, Theodore Hammerle, that there were "ordentlich viel Schmuck bei sich, welcher hier versteckt werden sollte" ("tidy lots of jewelry with them, which should be hidden here").
