Vladimir Hertza's urban villa
Vladimir Hertza's urban villa, Architectural monument in central Chișinău, Moldova
Vladimir Hertza's villa is an architectural monument in central Chișinău that blends Austrian and Italian building styles. The facade features protruding sections, domed roofs, and intricate carved details arranged with perfect balance.
The villa was built in 1903 by Austrian architect Heinrich Lonsky for Vladimir Hertza, a wealthy local resident. It reflects the architectural choices of Bessarabian elite and their connection to European building traditions.
The interior walls feature mythological frescoes with gilded moldings that reflect the artistic preferences of early 20th century Moldovan aristocracy. These decorations show how wealthy residents brought European artistic trends into their home.
The villa is located near the Parliament building on Stefan the Great Boulevard and welcomes visitors. Guided tours can be arranged to explore the interior spaces and learn more about the building's design.
The building brings together Viennese Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Moorish influences in one design. The most striking details are the many carved bas-reliefs showing flowering plants that decorate both the exterior and interior spaces.
