Villa Winter

Villa Winter is a villa situated in a remote location of the southwestern part of the island of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, near the village of Cofete on the Jandía peninsula. The villa was designed and built by Gustav Winter, a reclusive German engineer, born in 1893 in the Black Forest region of Germany.

The villa is the subject of several conspiracy theories, often involving Nazis. The main theory involves the fact that the villa had a tower with an electric lantern installed in its turret, similar to a lighthouse, and that it was used to signal German U-boats. The tower has a large fuse box installed on the wall. However, in an interview shortly before she died, Winter's widow said that the villa was built purely to exploit the agricultural potential of the area.
