Magnetic properties of trillium lattice antiferromagnet EuPtSi, crystallizing in the same group as archetypical skyrmion compound MnSi, were investigated. Single crystal neutron diffraction revealed a close similarity between two compounds, despite a difference in periodic length. The result implies that EuPtSi is the first 4f electron magnet to host magnetic skyrmion lattice.
