KUSNACHT & BOLLINGEN
TWO HOMES: KÜSNACHT & BOLLINGEN, SWITZERLAND
KÜSNACHT/ Jung's home, an immense piece of property on Lake Zurich, where he lived from 1908 until his death in 1961. It is currently the museum of the University Psychiatric Clinic of the University of Zurich.
BOLLINGEN/ Bollingen Tower: Carl Jung's spiritual retreat Bollingen Tower (outside village of Bollingen on the northern shore of Lake Zürich) which was for him an architectural structure mapping his human psyche. Here he lived fairly primatively, while adding more comforts as an extension of consciousness in old age. For much of his life Jung spent several months each year living at Bollingen. The Tower is now owned by a family trust and is not open to the public.
The Bollingen Foundation, created in 1945 but inactive since 1968, was named after it. Jung bought the land in 1922 after the death of his mother. In 1923 he built a two-story round tower on this land. It was a stone structure suitable to be lived in. Additions to this tower were constructed in 1927, 1931, and 1935, resulting in a building that has four connected parts.
A second story was added to the 1927 addition after the death of Jung's wife in 1955, signifying "an extension of consciousness achieved in old age." Above the front door rises an attached tower which houses a spiral staircase– the main staircase of the house. The rest of thehouse is in a traditional Swiss lakeside style, “modern” for the early 1900′s, with elegant proportions and simple, fin-de-siècle style ornamentation.
The inscription carved on the lintel over the main door of the house is: “Vocatus atque non vocatus Deus aderit” (a quote from the Oracle at Delphi: “Summoned or not summoned, God will be present.”).
Bollingen on the Obersee, upper Lake Zürich... “At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree,in the splashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons. There is nothing in the Tower that has not grown into its own form over the decades, nothing with which I am not linked. Here everything has its history, and mine; here is space for the spaceless kingdom of the world's and the psyche's hinterland.” ― Carl G. Jung
