The house was built in the 1870s by the famous architect N.L. Benois and became the last structure in the architectural ensemble. It is located next to the main palace. In the early 20th century, the last owner of the estate, S.D. Sheremetev, lived here.

The house consists of two floors. The first floor, made of stone, is painted to look like brick and was used as a bathhouse. The second floor is wooden and adorned with elegant carvings. The building has a gabled roof with large overhangs, creating terraces protected from precipitation. The wooden porch is also decorated with carvings. The house is built in the "Swiss style," which gave it its name.

It is known that in 1886, Emperor Alexander III visited Kuskovo. In I.P. Barsukov's book "From My Memories of Emperor Alexander III," it is mentioned:

"... From the Dutch house, everyone went to the Swiss house, the summer residence of the count's children. Here, His Majesty sat on the sofa and began to joke with the children, looking at their textbooks..."

Today, no exhibitions are held in the Swiss house; it houses the administration of the Kuskovo museum, although the building is considered a monument of architecture.
