Parco Sherrer

Scherrer Gardens in Morcote were built between 1930 and 1956 by tradesman Herman Arthur Scherrer, from the Sankt Gallen canton, a collector and eclectic traveller.

His travels served as an inspiration for building architectural structures within the garden: they stretch out across numerous levelled terraces, bursting with lush vegetation and located in a breathtaking location, recreating an ambience with specific cultural references allowing you to identify the country of origin right away.
