Krausova vila, Cultural monument in Moravská Ostrava, Czech Republic

The four-story Krausova vila features marble Ionic columns, wooden staircases with carved railings, and decorative sculptures on its neoclassical facade.

Built between 1910 and 1911 for lawyer Dr. Karel Kraus, the villa transformed from a residential building into the Museum of Revolutionary Struggles from 1945 to 1990.

The exterior sculptures created by local artist Augustin Handzel represent themes of family happiness, commerce, abundance, and industry in Ostrava's heritage.

The building currently serves as office space managed by PROSPERITA holding, offering commercial rental opportunities in the center of Moravská Ostrava.

The villa combines late Art Nouveau elements from 1910 with neoclassical features added during its 1921 renovation by architect Ernst Korner.

Location: Moravská Ostrava
