Friedrich Petschek Villa, Modernist villa in Bubenec, Prague, Czech Republic.

The Friedrich Petschek Villa features a Neo-Baroque architectural design with French influences, incorporating multiple floors and ornate exterior decorations.

Built between 1924 and 1930 by architect Max Spielmann, the villa served as residence for General Rudolf Toussaint during World War II German occupation.

The residence became a meeting point for Czech dissidents and intellectuals after World War II, when it became the United States Ambassador's residence.

The villa stands as the official residence of United States Ambassadors to the Czech Republic since 1945, following its purchase by the American government.

The property's transition from a private residence to a diplomatic center reflects Prague's transformation through different political systems in the 20th century.
