Šalounova vila, Art Nouveau villa in Vinohrady, Czech Republic
The villa features Greek inscriptions above the entrance door, zodiac signs on its walls, and a sculptural head representing philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Built between 1908 and 1911, the villa served as a studio for sculptor Ladislav Šaloun after he won the competition to create the Jan Hus monument.
The villa became a gathering place for notable Czech artists, including sculptor František Bílek, poet Otokar Březina, and painter Alfons Mucha.
Since 2001, the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague manages the villa, which now functions as an educational space for visiting international faculty members.
The cellar spaces of the villa were used for occult sessions, as documented in the memoirs of artist Josef Váchal who attended these gatherings.
