Schubertova vila, Renaissance Revival villa in Liboc, Czech Republic
Description
Schubertova vila is a single-story Renaissance Revival villa with an irregular floor plan, corner rustication, and decorative sgraffito bands on its facades. The structure includes a basement level, a central three-axis projection featuring a loggia, and small terraces flanking both sides of the main facade.
History
Architect Zdenko Schubert von Soldern designed this residence in 1871 for Dr. Eduard Schubert, integrating Renaissance Revival elements throughout the property. The house was built as a private residence during a period when this architectural style was popular in Bohemia.
Culture
The building displays Renaissance Revival features with decorative sgraffito bands created by painter Viktor Schubert as artistic embellishment. The tower with its pyramidal roof and Tuscan columns forms a distinctive element visitors notice when approaching the house.
Practical
The property is located in Liboc and viewable from outside, with architectural details visible from the street. Visitors should take time to examine the facade and tower details closely and walk around all sides of the building to appreciate its full design.
Did you know?
The tower section contains two levels of small semicircular windows with rusticated framing that terminates in a loggia formed by corner pillars. This unusual window arrangement and the interplay between tower and loggia create a distinctive architectural solution rarely found in similar villas of the period.
