Hernychova vila, Cultural monument in Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.

Hernychova vila is a villa in Ústí nad Orlicí built in 1906–1907 in Art Nouveau style for the Hernych family. Designed by the Prague studio of architect Matěj Blecha, it has a tower and a statue of Saint Florian on the facade. It stands east of Mírové náměstí and has housed the town museum since 2008.

Florian Hernych, who employed 2,500 workers in his textile business, bought land above Peace Square from the Pitr and Vrbický families and had this residence built in 1906–1907. The Prague studio of architect Matěj Blecha designed it, though the original project was not fully followed. After Hernych's death in 1923, his heirs moved to Prague and visited only occasionally. The villa was rented to trade unions in 1948 and later housed an art school.

Since 2008 the villa has housed the Municipal Museum of Ústí nad Orlicí. Its displays trace the town's textile industry and the Hernych family, whose forebears rose from domestic weaving to a large factory. The building itself, with its tower and façade statue of Saint Florian, is part of what visitors see.

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.

The tower and the statue of Saint Florian in the facade still dominate the building, although the original project by Matěj Blecha's studio was not followed in every detail. Florian Hernych chose the saint as his patron, and the statue keeps that choice visible on the house.
