Maison Tavel

  Maison Tavel, situated on Rue du Puits-St. Pierre, serves as Geneva's Old Town's historical museum. Dating back to the 12th century, it holds the distinction of being the city's oldest house, offering a glimpse into Geneva's rich past. This museum features interactive exhibits that explore the city’s history from the Middle Ages to modern times. Throughout the year, visitors can engage with various educational programs, but a visit during the annual Geneva Heritage Days in September offers a unique chance to experience the building and its surroundings in a festive atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find artifacts, historical photographs, and models that tell the story of Geneva’s evolution over time.
