Bauerova vila, Cubist villa and museum building in Libodřice, Czech Republic.
Bauerova vila is a residential building with cubist architecture located in the small village of Libodřice in Czech Republic. The house displays characteristic cubist features such as star-shaped window frames, angular cornices, and geometric patterns integrated throughout its structural elements.
Architect Josef Gočár designed this house between 1912 and 1914 for businessman Adolf Bauer. The building marked a turning point in Czech architectural history and embodied the first application of cubist principles to a residential home in the country.
The villa serves as a exhibition space for Czech cubist art, displaying furniture and decorative objects from this period. Visitors can observe how this artistic style entered everyday objects and living spaces.
The villa is located in the Kolín district and can be reached by car or public transport. Guided tours are available upon reservation and provide detailed insights into the cubist design and exhibition contents.
The building is one of the few surviving examples of cubist architecture in a rural setting and combines modern design ideas with a traditional village environment. This mix of avant-garde style and rural context makes it a remarkable location for architectural history.
