Jiráskova vila, Renaissance villa in Malešice district, Prague, Czech Republic
Jiráskova vila is a two-story house in Malešice featuring a distinctive terrace and double staircase facing the garden. The building sits within an extensive botanical garden containing rare plant collections.
The house was built by industrialist Antonín Jirásko and later took his name. During World War II it served as a Gestapo headquarters and subsequently as a German military hospital.
The park carries the name of František Thomayer, the garden architect who shaped the grounds. Visitors can see today how rare tree species are distributed across the space, making it a green retreat.
The botanical grounds are freely accessible to visitors, but the villa building and greenhouses remain closed to the public. Plan your visit for a warm day when the plantings look most vibrant.
The grounds sit on the western slope of Tábor Hill, where a historic battle took place during the Seven Years War. This location thus blends garden culture with military history from centuries past.
