Delightful house near the lake that gave you an insight into Wagner's life in Switzerland. Lots of interesting facts and pictures. Well worth a visit.

I liked it was off the main tourist areas... interesting. There is a large park area around the house and at times small outdoor concerts near by.

The view worth by itself. However, it is must if we consider the musical historical background of the house, and especially with you are a music lover.

The house where Wagner lived for 6 years and composed some of his most memorable works, including the Siegfried Idyll, first performed on the staircase of the house as Cosima Wagner's surprise birthday present.

Let's face it, you'll know if you want to look round one of the houses where Wagner lived. Getting to walk up 'that' staircase will either be a must do or have no interest whatsoever. This review will have no impact on your decision. That said, Tribschen is worth the trip. A beautifully maintained building with helpful staff. During our... More
