Pod Kogutkiem villa in Warsaw, Historical villa in Radość, Warsaw, Poland.
Pod Kogutkiem villa, also known as the Fertner villa, is a two-storey brick house at Junaków 33/35 in Radość, built in 1912. Its classicist form includes glazed verandas, and a rooster sculpture crowns the facade, giving the building its name. The house is partly ruined and stands in a neglected garden.
The villa was built in 1912 and has defined the residential character of the area since then. It gained official protection as a registered monument in 2000 when it was entered into the Masovian Voivodeship heritage register.
The name "Pod Kogutkiem" comes from the rooster sculpture on the top of the facade. After 1918 the villa was the suburban seat of actor Antoni Fertner, and guests included Eugeniusz Bodo, Mieczysława Ćwiklińska, Leopold Staff and Aleksander Żabczyński. After the war a "Społem" shop operated in the building, which was later divided into small two-room flats for nine families.
The building is accessible by public transportation and located near major bus and tram lines. Daytime visits work best to see the exterior details clearly when light illuminates the facade.
The villa retains its original external design and represents one of the few surviving examples of residential architecture from this era in Radość. This makes it a rare witness to early villa architecture in this part of Warsaw.
