History
[edit | edit source]The building was constructed in 1930 by the architect Nel Rodríguez in the Medieval Gothic style. The design was inspired by castles in Loire Valley in France.[1] It was the house of physician José Tobón Uribe until 1943 when industrialist Diego Echavarría Misas bought the house for his family.[2] In 1971 it became a museum when the wife of Diego Echavarría Misas, Benedikta Zur Nieden, known as "Dita", decided to donate the house and all its furnishings after the death of her husband.
