Charlie Chaplin spent his final years in exile at a Swiss estate after being barred from returning to the US. It later became a museum

Originally owned by Charlie Chaplin, his Santa Monica property underwent a striking transformation into a studio compound post a devastating fire in 2007, thanks to architect Christopher Sorensen's eco-friendly redesign. After Chaplin's death in 1977, his Swiss estate evolved into a museum honoring his remarkable life. With his enduring character the Tramp, Chaplin's impact on film history is undeniably profound.
