Křížova vila, Renaissance Revival villa in Žatec, Czech Republic.

Křížova vila is a residential building in Žatec featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with symmetrical facades and ornamental surface details. The house now serves as a museum space displaying regional collections and exhibitions within its original rooms.

A house existed on this site by 1769, when it belonged to Josef Osswald. In 1863 Josef Anderle bought it and rebuilt the dilapidated cottage into a comfortable dwelling. His daughter Františka and her husband Ambrož Wolfram inherited it in 1895 and had it extensively rebuilt with stucco, inlay and wall paintings. Wilém Kříž owned it from 1926 until the end of World War II.

The villa is named after JUDr. Wilém Kříž, a district court councillor who owned it from 1926 until the end of World War II. Its interiors retain ceiling paintings by Josef Reiner from 1898, and the large hall is used for wedding ceremonies. The garden hosts traditional events.

The villa is open for guided tours year-round; the Regional Museum K. A. Polánek in Žatec manages visits. The building has multiple levels and stairs, and the garden is smaller than in the past. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, concerts, lectures and weddings in the large hall.

The ceiling fresco in the great hall is a variation on Guido Reni's Aurora, painted in Rome's Casino Rospigliosi Pallavicini. The three halls keep ceiling paintings by the Ústí painter Josef Reiner from 1898, with mythological and nature themes. Fruit motifs on walls and ceilings recall Ambrož Wolfram, the town's first municipal physician from 1871 and a keen fruit grower.
