Labyrinthe des glaces

— Hall of Mirrors —

Set up for the amusement park at the Swiss National Exhibition of 1896 in Geneva.
Created by Heinrich Ernst, a Zurich architect, the << Alhambra labyrinth of mirrors >> was one of the main attractions at the << Parc de Plaisance >> during the Swiss National Exhibition in Geneva in 1896. Marie Amrein-Troller, the widow of the Glacier Garden's founder, who had died young, acquired the labyrinth of mirrors in 1899.
The Alhambra in the southern Spanish city of Granada is one of the most important monuments in Europe. The fascination with this <> was also the reason for the <> being created in Alhambra style.
The entrance with its lion fountain is particularly reminiscent of the Alhambra. 1/6th of the fountain with a mere two lions and only a few Alhambra arched elements give the illusion of the lion fountain with 12 stone lions. The << labyrinth of mirrors >> (popularly called the << hall of mirrors >> or << mirror maze >> ) continues with its Moorish arches from the Iberian peninsula.
