Villette Park owes its existence to the Zurich banker's son Heinrich Schultheiss-von-Meiss, who, as a member of the board of directors and major shareholder of the NOB (Swiss Norostbahn), was significantly involved in the land negotiations for the new Zurich-Lucerne railway connection and, on this occasion, a former farm on Lake Zug acquired and had a villa built there for himself. Schultheiss-von-Meiss cleverly used his connections and used the material that was removed from the church hill to build the railway line to expand his property. This resulted in a significantly larger seafront and an artificial small island. Both still make Villette Park very attractive today.
The many different, sometimes rare, tree species that are cared for on the site are also exceptional. More about this at dendrodata.ch/pdf/Villettepark_Baumfuehrer_zt.pdf
The beautiful complex serves as a local recreation area and is definitely worth a detour.

St. Germain Chapel (Buonas)

Highlight • Religious Site

The later court lord Johann Martin Schwytzer (1634–1713) from Lucerne, who lived at Buonas Castle from 1654 onwards, personally cared for the Buonas church with great devotion. In 1662, he had the Bishop of Constance consecrate it to the chapel's founder in honor of its patron saint, German. He also donated the side altars and the furnishings of the sacristy, among other things, and oversaw the building's maintenance.
