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

The Karel Čapek Memorial occupies a former summer residence nestled within the grounds of a 19th-century iron ore processing facility near Dobříš Castle.

In 1935, estate manager Václav Palivec presented this Empire-style house as a wedding gift to writer Karel Čapek and actress Olga Scheinpflugová.

The museum displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal items related to Karel Čapek's works, including his groundbreaking play R.U.R. introducing the word robot.

The memorial includes a learning trail through the surrounding area, featuring ten information panels about local history and natural phenomena.

The garden contains a statue of Mother and Child by Karel Kučera and a memorial to Dášeňka, inspired by Čapek's book about a puppy's life.
