Villa Schmitt, Renaissance Revival villa in Český Dub, Czech Republic.

Villa Schmitt is a residential mansion in the Český Dub IV district that combines Renaissance Revival features with historicist design elements. The building displays symmetrical facades and ornamental details that showcase the craftsmanship invested in its construction.

Franz Schmitt, a textile industrialist from Broumov, bought the former Michalovský farmstead from the Rohan family and had a mansion built there in 1873–1874 to designs by Liberec architect Gustav Sachers. In 1907 the interior gained a Secession dining room with oak panelling, attributed to Wilhelm Klingenberg. The Schmitt family left in 1945, and since 1950 the villa has housed a social services institute.

Franz Schmitt, who made his fortune printing textiles in Český Dub, had streets named after his family in 1888, five years after his death. The villa later became a social services institute in 1950 and today serves as a retirement home run by the town. The 1907 Art Nouveau dining room with oak panelling and carved decoration is attributed to Vienna architect Wilhelm Klingenberg.

The house is located in an accessible residential area and can be reached easily from the main roads of the town. As a protected monument, viewing the building from outside is possible, but visitors should be respectful of its status.

The villa's park-facing facade once carried a large cast-iron winter garden with glass panels and a central dome, added for Franz Schmitt's household. This structure disappeared after 1945, so visitors today see only the wall where it stood. The landscape park around it was laid out in 1869 by Eduard Petzold, who had finished the park at Muskau.
