The C. F. Meyer House is a multifaceted cultural and meeting centre. It is a literature, Zurich porcelain and local museum at the same time.

A permanent exhibition provides insight into Meyer's life and work. The Mann Family Room reviews the 40 years that Thomas Mann's famous family spent in Kilchberg.
The stylish Garden Hall regularly hosts concerts, readings, evenings of plays and other cultural events.
