"The house where Friedrich Dürrenmatt lived is right at the top of the Ermitage valley, a place that’s particularly favourable to a life of creation. This villa has been integrated into a structure designed by Mario Botta and became the Centre Dürrenmatt, where the manuscripts, drawings and paintings of the author are exhibited. Getting there from the town is a sort of pilgrimage but this centre is fortunately not a museum or a mausoleum, more like a place for reflection and dialogue between artistic expressions, a meeting place between the public and creators. From this amazing viewpoint of the Plateau and Alps, you see the world as it appeared to the writer at his desk; you really feel like you’re “entering” into his world and his work."
