Le Chalêt is a Swiss chalet–style mansion built in 1920 in Driebergen-Rijsenburg on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug in the Netherlands. Designed by architect Anton van der Lee, the house exemplifies the romantic Alpine aesthetic that appealed to early twentieth-century Dutch country estates, rendered here in brick and wood construction. Recognized as a municipal monument, Le Chalêt reflects the period's taste for picturesque European architectural imports adapted to the Dutch landscape.
