Switzerland

By placing their possessions and assets under the Fondation Custodia in 1947, the Lugts saw to it that their activities would be continued after their deaths. The Fondation Custodia was founded under Swiss law in accordance with article 80 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code (Schweizerisches Zivilgesetzbuch, ZGB). The reason for this goes back to the Second World War. During the war part of the Lugt Collection remained behind in the occupied Netherlands. After the Lugt family returned, it emerged that no end of artworks and valuable books had disappeared. Lugt believed that it would be safer to place his possessions in a Swiss foundation because property of a neutral country is usually respected by the warring parties. The Fondation Custodia’s deed of formation dates from 9 July 1947. The Stiftungsaufsicht beider Basel in Switzerland oversees compliance with the regulations. The Swiss government considers the Fondation Custodia to be a Public Benefit Organization.

The Fondation Custodia is registered with the Canton of Basel-Stadt under identification number (Unternehmens-Identifikationsnummer UID) CHE-100.631.247. The LEI number (Legal Entity Identifier) is 506 700 68J Q0W S48 3SK 21.
