Geneva has a very unique feature: the Fabyan estate with its recently restored dutch windmill, built nearby but looks straight out of the netherlands.
The story behind the estate is very interesting, iirc Fabyan was obsesesd with finding hidden codes in Shakespeare, thinking he could prove Francis Bacon was the real author. By the time World War I broke out, he had gathered a library of historical cyphers and had a team of codebreakers working for him, who quickly changed course from Shakespeare to the War Department.
It's a frank lloyd wright house with a well done japanese garden right on the fox river, worth taking the tour :)
