Kordova vila Václavka

Kordova vila Václavka, Neorenaissance villa in Smíchov, Czech Republic.

Kordova vila Václavka is a neorenaissance villa in Smíchov featuring elaborate facade decorations with historical sgrafitto murals depicting Czech legends. The building stands on Na Václavce street with expansive garden grounds that include seating areas.

Jan Běloušek, a Smíchov-born restaurateur, bought plots near the Malvazinky cemetery and had the three-storey neorenaissance villa built in 1903; the architect was Alois Korda. Běloušek's garden restaurant opened in 1905 with a panoramic terrace, and in 1907 the Czech Shooting Association was founded on the premises. The Běloušek family later sold land under the villa to cover mortgage costs.

The villa's name comes from Na Václavce street, which in turn took its name from the building. In 1907 the Český střelecký svaz (Czech Shooting Association) was founded in the restaurant's rooms, and shooting competitions were held yearly in the large garden. The Běloušek family also ran a bookbinding factory in Smíchov and owned a football team.

The restaurant is entered from the connecting path between Na Václavce and U Nikolajky streets, not through the villa itself. The winter garden and outdoor seating with an artificial pond are on the north side. The restaurant has moved within the building over time and is now in the basement.
