Villa Osvěta, 19th-century villa in Vinohrady, Czech Republic
Villa Osvěta stands at Jana Masaryka 165/22, featuring a linear Neo-Renaissance architectural design with a distinctive entrance gate and commemorative plaques.
From 1886 to 1889, the villa served as residence for Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, where his son Jan, future Minister of Foreign Affairs, was born.
The villa received its name from writer Václav Vlček in 1871, who established and developed the monthly magazine Osvěta within these walls.
Two commemorative plaques mark the entrance gate, including one from 1946 and another from 2006 featuring Jan Masaryk's bust and quote.
The villa represents a connection point between literary and political figures, as Professor Masaryk collaborated with Vlček on the Osvěta magazine publication.
