Petschek Villa, Baroque revival villa in Bubeneč, Czech Republic.

The residence features ornate architectural elements, extensive gardens, and spacious interiors designed by architect Max Spielmann in 1929.

The Petschek family, prominent in banking and coal mining, constructed this residence but fled to the United States in 1938 due to Nazi threats.

The villa represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Czech industrialists during the First Republic period between World Wars.

Located in Prague 6, the villa currently serves as the residence of the United States Ambassador to the Czech Republic.

The German army commander Rudolf Toussaint occupied the villa during World War II before Soviet forces briefly took control in 1945.
