Richter Villa will be open to the public for the first time
Richter Villa in Prague is situated near Prague Castle and palace gardens in Lesser Town. Thousands of people pass it every day but the villa was always closed to the public. It will change soon.
The villa is now being reconstructed and will be open to the public this autumn. Visitors can look forward to one of the most beautiful Classicist villas in Prague together with large gardens around it. These garden used to serve as a vineyard. The Prague Castle Administration plans to plant the vineyard again, open a wine house and launch there an exhibition of the history of wine.
Richter Villa was used by the embassy of Cuba, then it was one of the seats of the secret police in Czechoslovakia. High walls that surround the villa used to be guarded by armed patrols at that time.
