The fatherly house of Eleftherios Venizelos in Halepa of Chania, which constituted his house for more than thirty years, from 1880 to 1910 and later for short periods from 1927 to 1935, today constitutes a Museum under the responsibility of “National Institution of Researches and Studies El. Venizelos”, in which it has been granted by the Greek state.
The collection of the Museum consists of the complete household effects of the ethnarch, which he personally selected, from works of art, part of his library, his personal objects and from the collection of objects and records of Institution, relative to the period, the action and the personality of Venizelos. Characteristic is also that all the areas of the residence have maintained their authentic form until today, the one that they had during the period that El. Benizelos lived at the house.
The Residence of Baroness Von Schwartz in Chania: The exquisitely designed residence of the Baroness Von Schwartz is one of the finest samples of the neoclassical architectural style of Chania. It was built in 1860 and from 1865 till the end of the Turkish occupation, it was a social and philanthropic centre. This magnificent residence is located in the suburb of Chalepa and has turned into a prominent cultural landmark of Chania Town. The sheer elegance of this residence immediately draws the attention of visitors. The marble steps and the porch are truly fine pieces of craftsmanship. The residence is today uninhabited but still well-preserved by the local government.
