Description
A lot of the original features have been preserved in and around the house: Almost everything on the exterior, even the wooden shutters. The house is accessed from the street via a staircase.
The caretaker's flat and the utility area of the house were once located in the basement. The ground floor mainly housed the communal rooms such as the kitchen, dining room and children's play area. Václav Budil's room was also located on the ground floor. The garden was accessed via a winter garden. A terrace was attached above the winter garden on the first floor, where all bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets were integrated. This layout is very typical for a villa of this period.
The architect designed built-in wardrobes for the interior, which are still present, and a wooden staircase.

History
This villa was built between 1928 and 1929 by Jaroslav Fragner for Václav Budil, who was the director of the Esso power plant in Kolín, which was also built by Jaroslav Fragner. Interestingly, the villa is one year older than the plant.
The villa has been classified as a national monument since 1987.
The building is still owned by his descendants today. It is currently uninhabited. Renovations are to be carried out step by step. In the future, there are plans to set up a museum dedicated to Václav Budil and Jaroslav Fragner in part of the villa. We are excited and will follow the developments.
