The campus was housed in the modernized Victorian style building of Les Frenes, built in the late 1800s, which became a sanatorium of the Dr. Rollier health complex in the early 1900s.[citation needed] A private train station connected Leysin to all main lines and cities in Switzerland.[citation needed]
