Amon Göth's villa, Villa on Heltmana Street, Kraków, Poland.
Amon Göth's villa is a two-story white residence with a red-tiled roof and symmetrically arranged windows on Heltman Street in Kraków. A central balcony marks the main facade of the building.
The house was built in 1934 and became the residence of Nazi commander Amon Göth starting in 1943 when he oversaw the Płaszów concentration camp. The occupation came to an end in 1945 with the liberation of the camp.
The house was a residential space for wealthy families before the war and still reflects the character of upscale neighborhoods in Kraków. Today it serves as a place where visitors confront the difficult history associated with it.
The house is now a private residence and sits in a residential neighborhood that is walkable. A full renovation in 2015 restored the building, so it can be viewed from the street.
The property was later covered by a large earthen mound that now blocks the direct view from the balcony toward the former camp grounds. This means the actual geography differs significantly from how it appears in films.
