Michnův letohrádek, Baroque villa in New Town, Czech Republic
Michnův letohrádek is a single-story baroque villa with elaborate architectural details and a central staircase that leads to a fresco-decorated upper hall. The interior showcases ornate rooms characteristic of early 18th-century design.
Architect Kilián Ignaz Dientzenhofer designed this villa between 1715 and 1720 for Count Jan Václav Michna z Vacínova following his studies in Italy. The building reflects Italian architectural influences adapted to Prague.
The building now serves as a museum dedicated to composer Antonín Dvořák, displaying musical instruments, manuscripts, and personal items from his life. Visitors can see how this celebrated artist lived and worked.
The villa is located in New Town and accessible to visitors exploring the district's architecture and history. It is advisable to check opening conditions in advance since the museum has specific times for entry.
The interior halls display frescoes painted by Jan Ferdinand Schor that represent masterworks of early 18th-century decorative art. These wall paintings remain remarkably well preserved and offer insight into the artistic techniques of that era.
