Where: Winternitzova vila, Prague
Admission: 360 CZK
The English Guided Tour of Winternitz Villa takes visitors inside a house designed by the world-famous architect Adolf Loos together with his partner Karel Lhota. Built in 1931–32 for the lawyer Josef Winternitz and his family, the villa is now a cultural monument and is open to the public. It is a good chance to see Loos's work from the inside.
Experienced guides lead the tour and comment on the house in English. Visitors can take in the typical architecture of Loos and learn about his approach to Raumplan, the way he arranged interior space. The guides also share official and private stories about the eventful fate of the Winternitz family and of the villa itself. The house came back to life after difficult times, and today it hosts a range of cultural events.
The tour suits anyone interested in architecture of the early 20th century and in the history of Prague. The programme is in English, so no knowledge of Czech is needed. For booking details and the current offer, please check the organiser's page or the ticket page.
