Schu moves into Swiss mansion this week

**kenny** · 20th March 2007, 11:05

... Another Champion on the move is Michael Schumacher.
The retired seven time world champion and his family will finally move into their new Swiss mansion later this week.

At an estimated cost of $30 million, the castle-like mansion in Switzerland - located on a private beach on Lake Geneva - has been several years in the making and boasts three storeys, a medieval tower, a private petrol station, a heated underground car park, a helicopter-pad, a 20-person cinema, a climbing wall and a 63-metre trophy room.

Yea sorry, i knew what you meant, I just asked because you said 'FOR the batcave' leading me to believe it was a batcave! I didn't belive this so i asked!

**Man of the race** · 20th March 2007, 14:30

Those two batmobile tunnels, they are directed to the lake? That is puzzling.

**Ste** · 20th March 2007, 14:37

It is awesome, but why does he need it heated! What you can do when you have money!

My wild guess is that it might get cold once in a while.

**vagos** · 20th March 2007, 17:46

a proper house for the champion hehehe

**hardboiled** · 20th March 2007, 18:32

The only thing he's missing is a train station to get him from room to room.

Did Michael have to have something dimolished to be able to build his Castle on it? Looking at Google Earth and Google Maps, there is some kind of rectangluar building on the spot where his Castle is!

**gabobito** · 21st March 2007, 04:23

63 meter trophy room! wow!

Yes, there was an old mansion that has been uninhabited for years. It was demolished to build MS "castle", few km from his first swiss house.

I happen to live about 15 km from the place and I had a look at the "castle" (still under construction) from the lake, which is the only way of seeing it since the property is sorrounded by 35.000 m2 of land and woods. Beside, our local newspapers have published the plans months ago.

Impressive, probably splendid inside, but the outside is really, really heavy and, to say it all, really, really

ugly. :oh

When my young son saw it from the boat and heard my comments he replied: "See dad, Germans are pragmatic people: Quadratisch, praktisch, gut !

Square, practical, good ! Besides, dad, remember the phrase of Julius Caesar: "De gustibus non disputandum est" There is not to be discussion regarding tastes".

Right, son. And you can't have it all, can you?

Not so far away from Freiburg, maybe 2 hours?

**Liscia** · 23rd March 2007, 15:42

Wreaks of being 'a memorial to himself' but it's his money
and his life to do with as he pleases and it's well-known
how charitable and gentlemanly he is so he's welcome to
it and I sincerely hope he and the family will be happy
there.
