Duslova vila, Renaissance Revival villa in Beroun-Centrum, Czech Republic

Duslova vila is a one-storey neo-Renaissance villa on Politických vězňů Street, built in 1890 to Antonín Wiehl's design. Its cream facade has rusticated corner quoins, round-arched ground-floor openings and upper windows with triangular pediments; a balustraded balcony sits above the corner entrance, and a glazed loggia with a first-floor terrace extends to the southwest.

Martin Dusl, son of a sawmill shareholder, expanded the family timber business into a parquet and woodware manufactory and had this villa built in 1890 next to his father's house, designed by Antonín Wiehl and erected by Jindřich Jechenthal and František Hněvkovský. The city bought it in 1924; a museum and the district archive occupied it until 1965, then a library until 2002.

The villa has housed Beroun's City Gallery since its 2002–2005 restoration, with exhibition rooms on both floors. The first-floor hall previously served lectures and concerts. Original fittings remain in place: three tiled stoves, inlaid parquet floors, paper wallpapers with plant motifs, and wrought-iron railings and grilles.

The gallery maintains regular opening hours with free admission for visitors interested in exploring contemporary art exhibitions and the historic building. Both the structure and the adjacent park are easily accessible, making it simple to view the grounds while visiting.

Martin Dusl made his fortune in parquet flooring and other wood products, expanding the sawmill business his father Antonín had bought into in 1852. He was also a patron and an amateur palaeontologist who collaborated with Joachim Barrande.
