Agustín Ross Cultural Centre

The Agustín Ross Cultural Centre, located in Pichilemu, Chile, is a historic building originally constructed between 1906 and 1909 at the behest of politician Agustín Ross Edwards. Designed to resemble the Grand Trianon in Versailles, it served as one of Chile's first casinos from 1917 to 1931. Over the years, the building has functioned as a post office, hotel, and discotheque, reflecting its vibrant history. Declared a National Monument in 1988, it underwent significant renovations and reopened as a cultural center in 2009, now housing the local library. The centre is a testament to Pichilemu's transformation into a seaside resort and is a must-visit for those interested in Chilean culture and history.
