Památník Karla Čapka

Památník Karla Čapka, Literary museum in Stará Huť, Czech Republic.

The Čapek Memorial occupies the Empire-style house called Strž in Stará Huť, a former summer residence of writer Karel Čapek and actress Olga Scheinpflugová. The building stands in a historic area where iron ore was processed in the 19th century, and its rooms display furniture, books and everyday objects from the couple's life.

In 1935, estate manager Václav Palivec gave this Empire-style house as a wedding gift to writer Karel Čapek and actress Olga Scheinpflugová. The property connects an important literary figure with the region's industrial and rural history.

The museum displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal items from Karel Čapek, including his groundbreaking play R.U.R. that introduced the word robot to the world. Visitors can see how this Czech writer lived and worked within these rooms.

The Karel Čapek Learning Trail starts at the memorial and has three marked loops of 2 km, 7 km and 10 km. Ten double-sided panels cover the area's history, its mills and hammer works, and the meandering Kocába river; marked branches lead to the Kozí Hory–Libčice trail through old gold-mining ground.

In the garden stands Karel Kučera's statue Mother and Child, made on site between 1965 and 1968 and probably inspired by a motif from Josef Čapek's paintings. A memorial to Dášeňka, designed by Michael Stránský, was unveiled in 2013 for the 80th anniversary of Čapek's 1933 book Dášeňka čili Život štěněte.
