Dům bratří Čapků, Cultural monument villa in Vinohrady, Czech Republic

The Čapek Brothers' House is a double villa in Vinohrady with two identical mirrored sections connected by covered corridors. Each half has its own entrance facing a shared front garden.

The Čapek brothers moved here around 1925 from their flat in Malá Strana, to the eastern edge of the Vinohrady journalists' colony. Architect Ladislav Machoň built the double villa in 1923–1924 in a national style. In September 2013 Prague 10 approved buying Karel's half for 44 million crowns from the great-nephew of Olga Scheinpflugová; opening as a house museum is planned for 2026.

Karel Čapek's half served as a gathering place where writers and thinkers met regularly, reflecting the intellectual life of the era. These meetings shaped cultural conversations of the time and drew notable figures from Prague's literary circles.

The double villa stands at the eastern edge of the Vinohrady journalists' colony, in the Vinohrady, Žižkov and Vršovice heritage zone. The Karel Čapek half was bought by Prague 10 in 2013; its opening as a house museum is planned for 2026, with reconstruction starting in December 2025 and a 16-month construction period.

The garden was designed by architect Karel Dudych, a pupil of Pavel Janák, and the two brothers looked after it together. Josef set up his painting studio in the attic of the left half, number 30.
