Details:
As early as 1910, the artist Hans Walter Beyer built an artist’s house with a studio on the outskirts of the village of Ftan (formerly Fetan) in the Lower Engadine municipality of Scuol (Graubünden). The site where the Beyers’ artist’s house was built was already known as ‘Il Paradis’ at that time due to its beautiful location and views.
