Once again, I feel like I’m swooping in and snatching the answer, using the excellent solutions already provided by @Glorfindel for the chess puzzles and @Jay for the crossword. Thanks to you both!
If we:
Only use white’s moves for the chess solutions per @Glorfindel’s answer, and then map them accordingly according to @Jay’s crossword, we get Tjong a Fie which is a luxurious mansion in North Sumatra, Indonesia.
Specifically:

Partial answer with solutions for the chess problems:
Top left: white to move mates in 5, with 1. Rxa4+ Kc5 2. Rb5+ Kd6 3. Ra6+ Kc7 (or Kd7 or Ke7) 4. Rb7+ Kc8 (or Kd8 or Ke8 or Kf8) 5. Ra8#
Top right: white to move mates in 1, with 1. Nxc7# (so-called 'smothered mate')
Bottom left: white to move mates in 3, with 1. Rd8+ Qxd8 2. Qxf7+ Kh8 3. Qxg7#
(no-computers; these were easy enough to figure out without Stockfish)
Note that
for every problem, the first move is to a square which has a number in the bottom right diagram (a4 = 15, c7 = 9, d8 = 4). I'm not sure if this is relevant, though.
