History of the parc and Villa La Grange
The site bears traces of a human presence dating back to Neolithic period. Two menhirs lying on their side can be seen in the upper reaches of the park, not far from the ruins of the villa of the Roman official Titus Fronto (whose name gave rise to that of Frontenex).
In the 18th century, the agricultural area was given the name of La Grange. The owners, the Lullin family, built the manor house between 1768 and 1773 and laid out a French garden. The house design is attributed to the architect Jean-Louis Bovet, by analogy with the architectural style of the Château de Crans. Located on the edge of the city, the villa was used mainly as a summer residence and to receive distinguished guests.
The ownership passed from the Lullin to the Favre family who transformed the house and park, by setting its peculiar curved paths as well as the pond and the rock garden. They also built the monumental entrance with its lions along the Quai Gustave-Ador, the pergola, the orangery and, in 1821, the superb library, which still shelters Guillaume Favre’s prestigious book collection today, with around 15,000 works.
The estate was bequeathed in 1917 to the City of Geneva by William Favre. One year later, he bequeathed by will to the City of Geneva the library of La Grange, which has since been managed by the Bibliothèque de Genève. This cultural institution organizes an annual series of visits that allow the public to access this beautiful house and its precious books.
