Hernychova vila, Cultural monument in Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.
Hernychova vila is a residence in Ústí nad Orlicí designed by architect Matěj Blecha with a prominent tower and rooms spread across multiple floors in early 20th century style. The building sits east of Peace Square and serves as a notable landmark in the town center.
Textile magnate Florian Hernych commissioned this residence between 1906 and 1907, built near his textile factory. The building emerged during a period of industrial growth in the region.
Today it houses the Municipal Museum with exhibitions on local history and how the region's industry developed over time. The collections help visitors understand how the town grew and changed.
The villa is located east of Peace Square, making it easy to find from the town center. Visitors should check opening hours before visiting since it operates as a functioning museum.
A statue of Saint Florian, patron saint of the original owner, remains a distinctive architectural detail. This feature connects the builder's personal faith to the visible design of the house.
