House of Jiří Wolker in Svatý Kopeček

House of Jiří Wolker in Svatý Kopeček, Villa and cultural monument in Svatý Kopeček, Czech Republic.

Vila Bellevue, also called the House of Jiří Wolker, stands at Krejčího 38/10 in Svatý Kopeček. The central section is one storey high, while the two side wings are single-storey, each originally with two windows and a front garden. A plaque with a bust of the poet by Karel Lenhart was installed on the house on 30 June 1935.

Built in the second half of the 19th century as one of many similar villas, the house was bought in 1895 by Jiří Skládal, the poet Jiří Wolker's maternal grandfather, and served the family as a summer residence. It was listed as a cultural monument on 3 May 1958 under the name "Vila Jiřího Wolkera", together with the nearby pilgrimage complex and the misnamed Chapel of St Barbara.

Locals call it Vila Bellevue, Czech for "beautiful view", and also Wolker's Villa. The poet's maternal grandparents, Jiří Skládal and Anežka Skládalová, bought it in 1895 as a family summer home; only great-grandmother Anna Judasová lived here year-round. In 1900 they had Wolker's Cross built at the end of the Stations of the Cross before the basilica to mark his birth.

The villa stands at Krejčího 38/10 on Svatý Kopeček, in private ownership and closed to the public, so it can only be seen from the street. The memorial plaque with Karel Lenhart's bust of Jiří Wolker was installed on the facade on 30 June 1935. A rest spot near the house looks out over the surrounding countryside.

The memorial plaque with Wolker's bust, made by sculptor Karel Lenhart, was installed on the house on 30 June 1935. Its inscription claims the poet lived and worked here, yet Wolker himself wrote that his holidays here ran from birth to age twenty, and he stayed at Svatý Kopeček as late as summer 1922, when his grandfather Jiří Skládal died.
