This elegant mansion in the Alps was built in the 1850s by Count Felix De Vecchi, a war hero and art collector. He and his family lived there happily until 1862, when he came home to find his wife brutally murdered and his daughter missing. Unable to cope with the loss, he committed suicide. The house was inherited by his brother, but it soon fell into decay and neglect. It was rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of the family, and even by the occultist Aleister Crowley, who allegedly stayed there briefly in the 1920s. Today, the villa is a crumbling ruin, with peeling paint, broken windows, and overgrown gardens.
