Château El Masr in Cologny is a unique architectural gem, combining Tudor Revival style with historical roots dating back to the 18th century. Situated on a vast landscaped estate of almost 5,000 m², this prestigious property offers spectacular views over Geneva and Lake Geneva. Named El Masr (the Egyptian) by Charles Floods, a Scotsman who made his fortune in Egypt in the 19th century, the château reflects a fascinating blend of Gothic and Oriental influences.
