Vladislav Vančura, one of the most famous Czech writers of the 20th century, had his villa built in Modernist style in 1927—1929. In 1924, the first plans of the villa were drawn by architect Jaromír Krejcar, a friend of Vančura’s from the Devětsil group. Further modifications to the project and implementation were made by the owner of a local construction company, Mr. Václav Vejvoda. The two-storey villa stands on a rectangular floor plan on the slope of Havlín Hill and is surrounded on all sides by a garden. It has a flat roof, elongated and irregularly spaced windows. Vančura’s descendants still live in the house, which is classified as Functionalist. The house is well cared for and the place where the author of charming books such as Markéta Lazarová, Capricious Summer or Images from the History of the Czech Nation lived is remembered not only by naming the street after him, but also by Vančura’s bust at the entrance to the garden.
